Firme was a short-lived Romanian directory and request-for-quote marketplace experiment. It is retired as a product; the static research assets are preserved for audit, while no current customer marketplace or account service is offered.
Historical role
Firme tested a Romanian business directory, profile claims, requests for quotes, offers, reviews and automated growth analyses. It was not part of the current one-Factory commercial model.
Current status
The public marketplace and account flows are retired. The former application source was removed during the canonical Knowledge cutover. Production database inspection found none of the nine historical firme_* tables defined by the old migrations, so there is no active Firme user, request, offer, award, review, claim, authentication-token or analysis store to migrate from the current production database.
Preserved assets
Static scraped directory datasets, architecture notes and historical source remain in the private repository archive for provenance and audit. They are not current listings, recommendations, endorsements or a claim that the businesses remain accurate. No historical listing is promoted through current SaSame navigation or search as a live product.
Current replacement
Examples
2- 01
A search result for the old Firme domain resolves to this retirement record instead of presenting the directory as a current marketplace.

Historical scraped data remains retained as an internal asset without becoming a current customer or business profile database.
