The Data score on cached company funding APIs

The share of a company's funding record the call returns, out of 100: on each company we called, the share of the parts we count that the call filled, like its rounds, their investors and their amounts, averaged over the companies. A company it didn't find counts as 0. A company the domain's own website doesn't name counts as not found. We count the funding only, not the rest of the company's record. Each provider here answers from a copy it keeps. A provider called on fewer companies is set against how the others did on those same companies, so an easier few don't lift it.
