Data & preparation
Data & preparation
ANSWER IN BRIEF
Use one inventory and sample protocol as the common basis for broker comparisons.
Start with the right question
A different sample, record count or permission assumption can explain apparently conflicting responses. These entries show how to version the brief, describe provenance and keep candidate discussions attached to the same dataset scope.
Choose the next evidence step
Prepare one approved description for the first round. Record any requested additions or alternative preparation assumptions as explicit variations.

Building a common comparison inventory — Compare Data Brokers
A common inventory gives every broker the same starting facts. Record dataset identity, scope, preparation status and restrictions once, then track requested variations so different responses can be interpreted against the same baseline.
Using provenance in broker comparisons — Compare Data Brokers
Give candidates the same account of dataset origins and transformations. Compare the evidence they request and the limits they attach to their proposals, while keeping provenance history distinct from approval to license the material.
Designing a comparable broker review sample — Compare Data Brokers
A comparison sample should make candidate feedback interpretable while keeping disclosure limited to an agreed purpose. Use a common selection method and documentation, and record any candidate-specific variation before comparing the responses.
