If only Seegson built Sevastopol there, they'd be set.

that question was answered in the suppliment film "Advent" on the Covenant Blu-Ray. David sent back his transmission to HQ with his knowledge and findings. Hence why in the contract all of the crew signed in Alien saying that they would forfeit all of their shares if they did not check out a transmission of possible "alien" origin. the company has known for quite a while due to David... simple as that.

Current lore is the Nostromo picked up the transmission en route to Thedus; Mother thought it was a lost mapping satellite; it got sent back to Network where it was deciphered.

I also assumed that the special orders to investigate life forms (or any resource) and to use androids like Ashe for a variety of purposes are all part of general policies meant to protect the interests of the company and to maximize profits.

Other than the ending, I kinda like how the story is a bit open to interpretation, it leaves some room for imagination.

I think it was Ransome who contacted Weyland Yutani about the Alien. He wanted to "set himself up for life".
Taylor was sent from WY to retrieve the Nostromo recorder but had a secret mission to secure the Alien - she later drops this when she see's how dangerous it is.

I'm still not 100% clear how WY fits in the original Alien film, if they intentionally put Ash on the ship knowing they'd visit the derelict etc, but maybe a situation report got back to gateway station or wherever, before communications were cut off on sevastopol, then WY intercepted the communication somehow, whether it's standard practice being the leaders in space exploration/colonisation etc... if they did then it wouldn't have been hard to put 2 and 2 together and figured out what was up then taken action from there.
