Data Accuracy & Corrections
Earned aims to make company information useful, comparable, and easy to understand.
Company data is not always perfectly consistent across the internet. Companies change names, revenue changes over time, categories evolve, sources may disagree, and older information may become outdated.
We therefore treat data quality as an ongoing process rather than assuming that every data point is permanently correct.
Where Our Data Comes From
Information displayed on Earned may be based on one or more of the following:
- official company websites;
- company announcements;
- company representatives;
- publicly available information;
- recognised third-party data providers;
- business registries where available;
- reputable reporting;
- publicly reported financial information;
- user-submitted corrections;
- Earned research; and
- Earned calculations, classifications, or estimates.
Different sources may provide different values. Where information conflicts, Earned may assess factors including the reliability, recency, specificity, and proximity of the source to the company.
Verified, Reported, and Estimated Information
Not every metric on Earned has the same level of certainty. Where relevant, Earned may distinguish information using labels or context such as:
Verified — Information supported by a direct or sufficiently authoritative source according to Earned's verification process.
Reported / Public — Information publicly reported by the company, a representative, or another identified source.
Live — Annualized recurring billing from an authorized billing provider connection, where available. LIVE figures are standardized billing signals — not audited financial-statement ARR.
Estimated — A value derived from available information, modelling, ranges, or other analytical methods. Estimated values should not be treated as audited financial figures.
Unverified — Information that has not yet been independently confirmed by Earned.
The absence of a particular label should not be interpreted as a guarantee that a value has been independently audited.
Revenue Data
Revenue-related information may change frequently and may be affected by differences in reporting methodology. Depending on the source, revenue may refer to ARR, MRR, annualised run rate, gross revenue, net revenue, subscription revenue, or another reported financial metric.
Earned aims to provide appropriate context where differences materially affect interpretation. Estimated revenue is an approximation. It is not an audited financial statement and should not be treated as one.
Founded Year
Earned aims to use the year in which the relevant company or business was founded.
This may differ from domain registration date, incorporation date, product launch date, rebranding date, acquisition date, date first discovered by a data provider, or date of a predecessor entity.
Where sources disagree, Earned may review primary and authoritative evidence before determining which year to display. Official founded years are platform-owned canonical values; filters and rankings only read that canonical field.
Categories and Stages
Company categories and business stages may involve judgment. Earned may assign a primary category or stage based on the company's principal product, market, positioning, business model, public information, and other relevant evidence.
A company may reasonably fit within multiple categories. Earned classifications exist primarily to support discovery, comparison, and ranking and should not necessarily be interpreted as official classifications adopted by the company itself.
Rankings
Earned rankings are generated using Earned's methodology and the data available at the time of calculation. A ranking is relative to the eligible companies included within the relevant ranking universe.
Rankings may be based on dimensions such as global eligibility, revenue league, primary category, company stage, founded cohort, and category and cohort combinations supported by Earned's ranking methodology.
Rankings may change when underlying company data changes, revenue changes, new companies are added, company classifications change, data is corrected, ranking eligibility changes, or methodology is updated.
A ranking does not represent an investment recommendation, credit assessment, certification, or guarantee of company quality.
See Something Wrong?
If you identify information that appears inaccurate or outdated, please submit a correction.
Useful supporting evidence may include an official company webpage, an official company announcement, a recognised corporate filing, a direct statement from an authorised company representative, a reputable publication, documentation supporting the requested change, or another authoritative source.
How to Submit a Correction
Use the Report a correction link on the relevant company profile or contact corrections@earned.lol.
Please include, where possible:
- the company name;
- the URL of the Earned profile;
- the information you believe is incorrect;
- the correct information;
- a source supporting the correction; and
- any additional context that may help us review the issue.
Providing contact information is optional unless we need to verify that you are authorised to make a particular request.
What Happens After a Correction Is Submitted
Earned may review the evidence, compare multiple sources, contact the submitter for clarification, contact the company where appropriate, update the information, leave the information unchanged where evidence is insufficient, or mark information as uncertain where reliable sources conflict.
We do not guarantee that every correction request will result in a change. Our objective is to display the most reliable information reasonably available.
Companies May Change Over Time
A previously accurate data point may later become outdated. For example, revenue may grow or decline, headquarters may change, a company may rebrand, categories may change, a company may move into a different stage, acquisitions may affect company identity, or new primary-source information may become available.
Earned may therefore update company information without prior notice.
No Endorsement
Being listed or ranked on Earned does not mean that Earned endorses, certifies, sponsors, or is affiliated with a company.
Likewise, displaying a company logo, name, trademark, or publicly available information is for identification and informational purposes and does not by itself imply a commercial relationship.
