The Data score on cached similar companies APIs

Out of 100: the share of 10 similar companies per company that the call returned in the same industry as the company we gave, by each one's LinkedIn page. A call that takes no count is held to the same 10. We count a similar company as a match when LinkedIn lists it under the same industry as the company we gave. We count it as wrong when LinkedIn lists it under a different industry, even when it is a close competitor. A company with no LinkedIn page counts as wrong. If a provider builds its company list from LinkedIn pages, we check it against those same pages. Each provider here answers from a copy it keeps. We then lower the score to the lowest score we are 95% sure the call earns. We lower the score more when we test fewer companies.
