World Data Info · Classification work
A defined audience beats a large one.
The brief sets the boundaries; everything downstream inherits them. Each record is reduced to one row per organisation, with the reasoning retained. The file ships with its own limitations written down.
Second-opinion pass
Having somebody who did not build the file check it against the brief.
Legal-entity grouping
Deciding whether branches roll up to one parent or stand alone, and applying it consistently.
Universe sizing
Establishing how many records satisfy the criteria before anyone decides whether the job is worth running.
Questions about where this comes from are expected and answered.
