We Don’t Want Your Trust.

December 2, 2021
Procurement

Not because we’re shifty. We’re not.

You don’t have to trust us. Specifically, you don’t have to trust our data.

If you have to trust us, that means you’re hitting and hoping. We get that you can’t know everything, but you will always know exactly what you’re getting from us.

So you don’t need to trust us, you can see what we provide long in advance.

You can work with it, test it, validate it and get comfortable with us and our data.

That’s also why we give you the full provenance of every item of data. You get to know where it was gathered from, when it was gathered and whether or not we’ve augmented the data.

You won’t find yourself wondering “what does this mean?” because we always give you the source reference.

So, you’ll always know what you’re using.

You’ll always know where it came from and,

you’ll always know what you’re buying.

If you want the right data rather than soothing words, come to us.

Talk to us about your data needs, and how we can help.
