Profiles are intended for both listed and unlisted companies. They distinguish legal identity, business information and the company’s own statements. The page should say if the company has no representative in the network.
Revenue, profit and cash flow need a source, reporting period, currency and unit. Reported results must be separated from forecasts. Missing data should be visible, and comparisons should explain differences in definitions.
A saved report provides a starting point for tracking changes. Questions and answers belong alongside the material they concern. A representative’s answer is the company’s own statement and needs to be labelled as such.
Missing figures should be marked as missing, without being replaced by zero. Dates show how old the information is. Company statements are labelled so you can distinguish them from independent research.
