    Factual started out as an aggregator that allowed organisations to deposit point of interest data to create an aggregated set. Their original business model, IIRC, was around licensing that dataset, but contributors got free access or favourable terms. I've noticed that they've changed their model, so the work of contributing the data is done via "Trusted Data Contributors" who appear to take on the work and responsibility for vetting upstream contributions. https://www.factual.com/updatelisting/ Sharing because I think the evolution is interesting, as is the approach to certifying upstream contributions. Relevant to the certification/audit discussion. Similar issues with some of the alt data ecosystem too I expect.

  • Successful organizations require financial systems, information technology, volunteer management and sustainable revenue streams. Part of the myth of the nonprofit world is that somehow righteousness will ultimately triumph over limited planning, crappy systems and a general scarcity of resources. But that is not the way the world works.
