How we check corporate data.
CorpDigest researches company profiles from public sources, then reviews the narrative for source traceability, useful context, and clear separation between facts and editorial judgment.
1. Source Hierarchy
We prioritize primary public sources for facts that readers may rely on. Revenue figures, leadership names, and major milestones are checked against filings, annual reports, investor relations pages, official company announcements, or credible reporting when a primary source is not available.
- SEC 10-K and 10-Q filings
- Audited annual reports
- Investor relations disclosures
- Official stock exchange data
2. Editorial Review
Computational tools may help organize public data, but the published narrative is reviewed manually. The review looks for broken values, stale leadership names, unsupported figures, repeated boilerplate, and claims that belong to a different company. Facts such as founding year, headquarters, revenue, leadership, acquisitions, and major milestones are treated differently from editorial sections such as moat analysis or SWOT.
3. Normalization Standards
To make comparisons readable, we normalize reporting formats into a common strategic structure. That can include standardizing fiscal years, grouping revenue streams into plain-language clusters, and checking leadership timelines against public records. Normalization does not mean every company discloses the same information; when a figure is unavailable or privately estimated, the page should make that limitation clear.
4. Updates, Corrections, and Limits
Profiles are reviewed periodically and after major public filings or leadership changes when those changes affect the page. Readers can request corrections by sending the page URL, the disputed statement, and a source to [email protected]. Some private-company figures and fast-changing market data may remain incomplete when no reliable public source is available; in those cases we avoid presenting estimates as audited facts.
