Data Sources, Methodology & Disclosures

How to read source-linked records, observable signals, benchmark views and coverage.

TradeDesk is a company-intelligence platform designed for operational evidence review. It helps users review observable signals, linked source material, review-workflow inputs and contextual benchmark views.

TradeDesk is not a legal, financial, accounting or compliance advisory service. It does not certify, endorse or officially determine the status of a company or person. It does not replace legal review, accounting diligence, procurement review, sanctions screening or other formal assessment processes.

Observable Signals and Cohorts

TradeDesk presents observed signals drawn from available public records, licensed datasets, customer-supplied materials and other observable sources. These signals are descriptive and contextual. They are shown to help a reviewer navigate evidence, not to announce a verdict.

Where a benchmark is shown, it is contextualised against a selected reference cohort. That cohort may reflect sector, geography, company size, legal form, filing behaviour or another operational characteristic shown in the interface. A different cohort may produce a different contextual picture.

A coverage indicator describes how much observable source material is available in a particular area and whether that material is broad, narrow, sparse or delayed. A confidence indicator describes our confidence in a source match, entity linkage or signal extraction step being reliable enough to present for review. Neither type of indicator is a judgement about the underlying organisation.

Wherever reasonably practicable, TradeDesk aims to show either a direct source link, a source citation, source metadata or enough source context for a reviewer to understand where a signal came from, when it was observed, and what follow-up review may be needed. This is a core product principle.

Public benchmark disclaimer

Operational benchmark views are contextual review aids based on observable signals and selected cohorts. They are not scores or predictive assessments. Always review linked source evidence.

Freshness, Source Limits and AI-Assisted Summaries

Different sources refresh at different intervals. Some update frequently, some update only when the originating body republishes, and some may contain delays, omissions, duplicates or conflicting entries. A record or benchmark view may therefore be incomplete, jurisdiction-specific or temporarily unavailable.

TradeDesk may re-present or contextualise information originally published on public registers or official publications. TradeDesk does not control the original publishers of public or licensed data. Source records may be delayed, incomplete, inconsistent across jurisdictions, corrected after publication, difficult to match perfectly, or withdrawn. TradeDesk accordingly does not warrant that all source-linked information will always be complete, current or error-free, and users should review linked evidence before external use or escalation.

Some TradeDesk features may use AI-assisted summarisation or drafting to organise evidence, suggest review notes or reduce manual navigation effort. These outputs may be incomplete, over-compressed, approximate or wrong. They are navigational aids only and should be checked against underlying evidence before sharing, exporting or relying on them.

TradeDesk is designed for human-led review. Customers must not treat the platform as a standalone decision-maker. Material actions should be taken only after a suitably qualified person has reviewed the linked evidence, the relevant limitations and the surrounding context.

Corrections, Exports and Accessibility

If you believe a TradeDesk record is inaccurate, incomplete, misleading in context, or should no longer be shown in the way it appears, contact privacy@tradedesk.io or to be confirmed. TradeDesk may correct, annotate, suppress or remove the presentation where appropriate. If the issue originates in a source-controlled record, you may also need to seek correction from the original source.

TradeDesk outputs are for Customer's internal review, recordkeeping, audit support and adviser-led use unless TradeDesk expressly agrees otherwise in writing. Customers must not republish substantial portions of TradeDesk content as a standalone feed or database, remove source references or limitation warnings where included, or use the Service or restricted exports to build a competing product.

Nothing in TradeDesk constitutes legal advice, financial advice, compliance advice, formal due diligence, accounting advice or regulated professional advice. We aim to keep methodology and disclosure text readable and accessible, and to work towards WCAG 2.2 AA for user-facing digital content.
