Data sources and attribution

Everything on RealInsightHQ is built from public data. This page names every source, says what we do to it, and states how we access it. If you think we have misused a source or misattributed something, write to us and we will correct it.

Sources

SEC EDGAR — Form D

Exempt offering notices filed by issuers. We parse the primary XML document for offering amounts, exemptions claimed, related persons and any placement agents named. Amendments supersede originals per issuer.

State and federal economic development records

Subsidy awards, interconnection queues and announced projects, where published. Every project entry is individually sourced and carries its source link.

How we access them

We follow the SEC's fair access policy: requests identify us with a declared User-Agent including a contact address, we stay well below the published rate limit of ten requests per second, and we cache every document we retrieve so that we fetch each one once. The same restraint applies to every other source. We do not scrape anything behind a login, we do not circumvent access controls, and we honour robots directives.

OpenStreetMap data is used under the ODbL. Where we publish counts derived from OSM we attribute it on the page. Government works cited here are not subject to copyright in the United States, but the agencies do not endorse this site and are not associated with it.

Corrections

If a record about you or your firm is wrong, email corrections@realinsighthq.com with a link to the record. Where the error is ours we will fix it. Where the underlying public filing is what is wrong, we will note your correction alongside it, but we will not silently diverge from the source — the value of this data is that it reflects the filing.
