How Sparrow Data Group treats sources, AI-assisted drafting, human review, examples, and corrections in its research and tools.
Sparrow Data Group publishes explanatory research for data owners considering licensing or a sale. The byline “Sparrow Data Group editorial team” identifies the brand responsible for the publication; it does not identify a named individual or imply a particular staff size.
Sources policy
We distinguish source facts, analytical judgments, and illustrative examples. Primary material—contracts supplied with permission, company announcements, regulatory filings, and documented dataset measurements—is preferred for factual claims about an asset or transaction. A secondary report can help locate original material, but a headline price alone is not a unit-price benchmark.
A researched comparable should carry a source link, publication date, access date, rights scope, term, volume basis, currency, and a record of anything undisclosed. If those elements are missing, we label the gap instead of inventing an adjustment. Confidential information must not be published without authorization.
Status of this edition
The October 25, 2026 research notes were carried forward from the supplied site content with light structural and implementation corrections. They are general analytical guidance; they do not contain a verified transaction dataset. No independent subject-matter review or named human reviewer has been documented for this migration. Original article dates are retained. The public calculator was implemented and checked as arithmetic, not validated as a market valuation model.
AI-assisted drafting and human checks
AI tools may assist with outlines, wording, restructuring, and code. AI output is not a source. This site rebuild used AI assistance. The required human editorial process is to compare factual assertions with original sources, verify quotations and dates, reproduce calculations, review confidentiality, and approve the final wording. A publication should only claim this review is complete when that approval is recorded; we do not claim it has happened for the migrated notes above.
Examples, ranges, and limitations
Invented inputs are labelled Illustrative. Scenario ranges are not statistical confidence intervals, verified market prices, testimonials, or transaction results. The calculator uses entered assumptions only. Its formulas, exclusions, input bounds, and version are described in the methodology.
Corrections
Send corrections to hello@sparrowdatagroup.com with the page URL, the passage in question, and supporting evidence. We assess the source, correct material errors, and record the nature and date of a substantive correction on the affected page. Minor typography changes do not alter original publication dates. No guaranteed review time is implied.
