The Data score on cached similar people APIs

Out of 100. For each person we sent, we asked the call for 10 similar people. The score is the share of them whose LinkedIn profile shows the same industry as the person we sent. We leave out the people whose industry we couldn't find. Each provider here answers from its own copy of profile data. We lower the score when we test the call on fewer people than the benchmark has.
