Data & Methodology

Every public data point should have a source and a date.

This program uses public IRS exempt-organization datasets through a dedicated LightHouse data service. WordPress renders the public read layer; it does not run the large IRS ingestion pipeline.

Identity

EIN is the automatic match key.

An exact normalized nine-digit EIN may connect IRS observations to a canonical organization. Similar names or addresses may create a review candidate, but they never trigger an automatic merge.

Core sources

Required for launch.

Freshness

60-day default gate.

Required core datasets must report a data-as-of date inside the configured freshness window. A failed required dataset blocks program launch and causes runtime reads to fail closed.

Public contract

Versioned and machine-readable.
