The data pipeline

Finance Foundation separates data by processing stage. Raw inputs are never mixed into the presentation layer — every published number has passed through the full pipeline.

raw (public filings, official statistics, primary sources) → normalized (one schema, one unit system, one id per entity) → enriched (relationships: lists_on, domiciled_in, managed_by…) → scored (coverage & confidence flags) → audited (human review against primary sources) → final (published — what you see on this site and in the API)

Current status — honest version

The current dataset is seed-0.1 · 2026-08-28: a hand-audited seed covering the most systemically important entities in each class. Figures (market cap, AUM, GDP, bank assets) are approximate reference values from public sources, rounded, dated Q2 2026, and not real-time. The architecture has a provider-abstraction layer, so live sources (filings, market data, macro series) can be attached per dataset without changing the API contract.
