TL;DR. illion is a credit bureau with PPSR layered in. Same shape as CreditorWatch - strong on credit monitoring and scoring; PPSR is bundled. If you primarily need credit data, illion. If you primarily need PPSR + ABN at a workflow layer, Hoist - though Hoist is in S1 validation today (sandbox fixtures only); real searches and paid plans go live at S2-gate. See /trust/afsa-b2g/.
When to pick illion
- You need credit reports and consumer/commercial scores.
- You're a debt-collection or risk-management team.
When to pick Hoist Assets
- You're doing transactional PPSR diligence and don't have credit-bureau needs.
- You want MCP / public API.

Migration
If you mostly use illion for scoring, keep it. Plan to layer Hoist for PPSR when S2-gate paid searches go live.
