Accuracy is a philosophy.
Not a metric.
Four opinionated choices that run before a Scout match touches your screen.
01 · Sources
Three sources rejected for every one in.
Every new source passes a quality gate: linkage accuracy, email validation, phone tagging. Only then does a single source land in the index. Thousands of datasets come in; only the ones that survive ship.
1 in 4sources accepted
02 · Matching
When in doubt, records split.
The engine is biased against false merges. It would rather miss a match than show you the wrong person. Accuracy comes before aggressive consolidation.
Split-firstmatching philosophy
03 · Rebuild
The index refreshes every month.
Every field (titles, employers, locations, skills) runs through the same standardisation pipeline. Canonicalised, normalised, with field-level de-duplication on every release.
Monthlydata refresh cadence
04 · Compliance
Professional data only. No sensitive PII.
Every source is compliance-reviewed before it touches the index. No special-category attributes under GDPR Article 9: race, sexual orientation, trade union membership, genetic, medical, or political data. Excluded by design, not by filter.
