Data Trust & Provenance

How We Know the Data Is Real

Every audience Prime Signal builds, every signal it acts on, and every match it delivers is backed by a deterministic identity graph with continuous verification. Here is exactly how it works and why it matters.

Why Most Identity Data Is a Placebo

The identity resolution industry has a dirty secret: most providers score and sell data without ever verifying it worked.

40%

Annual Data Decay

Core consumer records degrade every year. Without continuous refresh, your audience is targeting ghosts.

8.4%

True Usable Match Rate

Competitors claim 60-70% match rates. After stripping IP inflation and probabilistic guessing, it drops to single digits.

35%

Cookie Signal Decline

Cookie-based identity has dropped 35% in just two years. Providers still building on cookies are building on sand.

<0.5%

Meaningful Domains

Out of billions of weekly intent signals from competitors, less than half a percent of domains produce signals that actually mean anything.

The Shared WiFi Problem

When a single visitor arrives from a Starbucks, airport, or coworking space, IP-based tools match every person on that network (50 to 100 people) to that one visit event. The result: inflated match rates that look impressive on a pitch deck but deliver near-zero precision in practice. Every IP-based provider has this problem. Most don't tell you.

The 7-Layer Verification Stack

From raw signal capture to campaign activation, every layer is built to eliminate noise and verify truth.

LAYER 1

Identity Scale

The graph starts with scale, but scale alone means nothing without verification. 308 million profiles across 65+ data dimensions, continuously validated.

Verified US consumer profiles

308M+

Data points per person

65+

UID2 hashed email mappings

8B+

Vetted domain partners

3.7M

LAYER 2

Verification Infrastructure

This is the moat. The entire 308M+ record database is refreshed through NCOA every 30 days. Three-layer verification (online, offline skip-trace, and public data) maintains 70-90% verification rates. Competitors who skip this decay to 40-50% accuracy within six months.

LAYER 3

Signal Capture

14 million domains watched versus 750,000 for the largest competitor. 20x more coverage means signals come from specialist, high-density sources instead of generic news and publishing noise.

LAYER 4

Deterministic Identity Resolution

Browser-level cookie events resolve to hashed emails (HEMs), then match against a pre-built table of HEMs, IPs, and MAIDs cross-referenced with 20+ offline skip-trace datasets. Geo Frame Resolution assigns IPs to the most recently logged household coordinates via NCOA and discards geographically implausible matches, solving the shared WiFi problem.

LAYER 5

Signal Grading (A through D)

Every hashed email is scored across 28 features in 6 groups: Recency and Velocity, Intent Domain Signals, Email Engagement, Web Behaviour, Centroid Similarity, and Cross-Feed Composites. Grade A signals require corroboration from 3+ independent sources. Grade D (generic news, low search referral) is excluded before the audience is ever delivered.

LAYER 6

Closed Feedback Loop

This is what makes it a closed loop. Intent signals are not just scored and sold. They are validated against actual downstream conversions, engagement, and buying events. After 10 confirmed conversions, the model begins centroid similarity matching. After 50+, conversion fingerprint matching activates. Every classification strengthens the graph.
