Every company is unique. Some organizations publish extensive information about their activities, while others maintain a limited public footprint. In addition, certain profile sections may not be relevant to a specific company. As a result, a 100% profile completion rate is neither expected nor required.

68% completion rate, by chapter:
  1. 1 Core identity, 55% completed
  2. 2 Contact & location, 75% completed
  3. 3 Business activity, 92% completed

  11. 11 Fundraising, 25% completed

Every field the Company DNA defines counts once: 119 in total. A list counts as one field, whatever its length. The rate is the share of fields that contain data. Profile richness and credit consumption
