Collective members carry the Truthset Provider badge, refreshed every quarter alongside the scoring cycle. It tells a prospective buyer three things at a glance. Your data has been submitted to an independent referee, it has been scored against deterministic ground truth rather than your own methodology, and you were willing to be measured in the first place.
In a market where providers agree with each other 6.4% of the time and buyers discount everyone equally to cover the risk, the willingness to be graded is itself the differentiator. The badge puts it on your site, your one-sheets and your segment listings, where the buying decision actually happens.
Every attribute in your file gets scored against deterministic ground truth and returned as an index, where the cohort average is set at 100. An index of 118 puts that attribute 18% above the market. An index of 82 tells you where to go to work, quarters before a buyer notices.

A graded audience carries a Data Ratings tier on every record. Buyers who have been paying flat rates for unverifiable audiences have a reason to pay a premium for yours, and you have something to defend the price with.

24+ providers contribute to the Data Collective every quarter, covering roughly 95% of the U.S. Census. Contributions are cross-validated against each other and scored against Truthset’s Validation Sets, which are independent, multisourced panels of deterministic declared data covering 1.4M US consumers, tested against a holdout group and anchored to census.
