The Problem
There is no consistent, reliable view of what businesses actually do
Industry classification is not a formally governed or consistently maintained dataset. There is no mandated requirement for companies to submit or maintain an accurate industry code, and no centralised mechanism to ensure classifications remain current as businesses evolve. As a result, across the market there is no reliable, standardised view of how companies operate or which industries they truly belong to.
No Mandated Classification Framework
There is no requirement for companies to formally declare or maintain an industry classification. Where codes do exist, they are often assigned once and never revisited, leaving no dependable baseline across the market.
No Ongoing Validation or Governance
Industry codes are rarely reviewed, verified or updated. There is no systematic process to ensure that classifications reflect current business activity, creating widespread inconsistency across datasets.
Businesses Do Not Fit a Single Code
Even where classification exists, it is structurally limited. Many companies operate across multiple industries, revenue streams and business models, making single-code classification insufficient to describe real-world activity.
Our Solution
Evidence-based classification at scale
We analyse millions of data points to determine what a business actually does, not what they claim. Multiple classifications per entity reflect real-world complexity.
Multi-Source Data
We aggregate signals from company filings, web presence, trade relationships, and more.
ML Classification
Machine learning models trained on verified industry data to assign accurate codes.
Confidence Scores
Every classification includes a confidence score so you know the strength of evidence.
Continuous Updates
Classifications refresh as new evidence emerges, keeping your data current.
