The Data score on leadership change APIs

Out of 100: the share of requested changes the call returned that the person's LinkedIn profile shows. We asked for 10 changes at each company since 1 July 2026: a director or above who joined, was promoted or left. Skrapp's call has no date filter, so we count only the changes Skrapp dates 1 July 2026 or later. We lower the score when we test the call on fewer companies than the benchmark has.
