The business model is built around large‑scale aggregation and structuring of consumer and business data from public and proprietary databases, then commercialising that data through analytics, scores and decisioning services. Data is packaged into sector‑specific solutions for credit risk assessment, identity verification, fraud detection, tenant screening, investigations and marketing identity resolution and audiences.

Value is created by enabling customers to make more informed decisions (e.g., underwriting, fraud prevention, collections, marketing targeting) with lower operational cost and risk. Value is captured via recurring contracts, usage‑based fees and subscriptions for access to platforms, APIs and reports, plus professional services and implementation work. The acquisition of a digital‑identity firm and launch of identity‑resolution apps in data clouds extend this model into adtech/martech environments while using the same underlying identity and analytics assets.
