Real-Time Industrial Classifications (RTICs)

Custom Industrial Classifications (CICs)

For Custom Industrial Classifications (CICs) we use the same process we use for our RTICs but these are not released to every customer registered on the platform. These are custom built using our Taxonomy process but this is delivered to a specific set of users. We encourage all of our clients to open-source their CICs to all of our users as we are strong advocates for working in the open however we understand our clients may want to protect their classifications.

CompetitivenessScale

Company growth percentage per year ?
If a company has reported employee count for three years or more we fit an exponential curve to those years and use this to calculate an annual employee growth rate. We do the same for turnover.

Read more on company growth percentages here.

Minimum Innovation score ?
Our proprietary Innovation Score is generated using ML trained on available R&D spend data. The model predicts whether a company is Innovative or Not Innovative, based on evidence of innovativeness in the company's webtext. The final score reflects our confidence in this prediction (3 being most confident).

It is more appropriate to filter by innovative companies once a list is built, rather than using innovative companies to seek to build lists of purely innovative companies.
