How accurate is our data?

Written by Jacob Bonne

Steppingblocks doesn't describe its data with a single accuracy percentage. Instead, every data point passes through a multi-step validation process, and one rule governs what you see: if we are not confident in a data point, we don't display it.

How we validate the data

We use layered quality checks:

  • Validation at the point of collection

  • Standardizing and deduplicating records

  • Cross-checking information across sources to find the most accurate, current value

  • Machine learning models

  • Automated quality and recency checks

  • Anomaly detection, with flagged records sent for human review

  • Human audits and ongoing testing

Where does a specific data point come from?

No single field relies on one source. Each value is built from hundreds of sources, then normalized, deduplicated, validated and enriched by machine learning. A given field may come from one input or several, depending on the profile, and some values, such as salary, are modeled from multiple sources.
