Step 1 - Quality Checks
We make it easy to identify, submit, and correct mistakes or omissions in our data.
Here's how our process works, and how you could earn a $50 reward when we verify your quality issue.
First, we collect billions of data points a year from hundreds of thousands of sources around the globe.
We run over 145,000 automated quality checks in addition to our Content teams conducting multiple manual checks of the information.
Step 2 - Publishing
We make it easy to identify, submit, and correct mistakes or omissions in our data.
Once the data has been thoroughly reviewed, we publish the quality-checked data to our platforms and via feeds so you can make better business decisions.
We understand time is of the essence for certain data. That’s why we established turnaround times for various content domains that our clients can count on. Details on our typical turnaround times are available to clients within the platform.
Step 3 - Discovery
We make it easy to identify, submit, and correct mistakes or omissions in our data.
As soon as you notice something is not right with our data, tell us so we can make it right. It’s one quick step to email our Support team. They are standing by 24/7/365.

Step 4 - Verification
We make it easy to identify, submit, and correct mistakes or omissions in our data.
Our analysts get to work to review your submission and validate the discrepancy. If the issue is verified, we conduct a root-cause analysis to get to the bottom of the issue.
Step 5 - $50 Reward
We make it easy to identify, submit, and correct mistakes or omissions in our data.
As a thank you, we issue a $50 reward for each verified mistake or omission you bring to our attention. This comes in the form of a USD $50 electronic VISA reward card. If clients prefer a charitable option or are not permitted to accept the reward, we make an equivalent USD $50 donation to the S&P Global Foundation, and send you a thank you letter for your generosity.
Step 6 - Benefits
