Provenance is the product.

Four guarantees

1 · A public License Register

No data enters the pipeline without a row in our License Register recording the source, its license, and permitted use. Every published value carries a license_class that points back to that register — so the terms travel with the data, not in a forgotten contract.

2 · Per-value source references

Fundamentals cite the source document and page (source_ref) and the moment of capture (observed_at). Tenders cite the OCDS release. If you can't trace a number to its origin, it isn't in the product.

3 · No natural-person data

Published tables contain organizations only. In procurement data, party records are classified and natural persons are excluded in the model layer — a structural rule, enforced in code and checked in CI, not a promise.

4 · Measured quality, not claimed

Each SKU ships a metrics.json with measured coverage, freshness and accuracy — and the same figures are queryable live via the API and the MCP get_quality_metrics tool. We publish the numbers whether or not they flatter us.

How values are extracted

Fundamentals are extracted from official published filings, normalized so a value printed “in thousands” becomes an actual-unit figure, and labelled with an extraction confidence. Period type (full-year vs. interim) is derived from the calendar against each issuer's fiscal year-end rather than trusting ambiguous cover-page wording — because “year ended” in a comparative column has mislabeled many a dataset before ours.

Where a source lacks a global identifier (LEI), we assign a documented, stable seed key rather than silently guessing an identity — and record that decision in the register.
