Targeted Research

Overview

Targeted Research focuses on the validation and update of select data elements as specified by the user. Targeted Research allows a user to receive updates on one or more specified data elements without a researcher reviewing all possible data points for an entity. Thus, reducing response time of the request.

Customers can select up to 5 Research Sub Types while submitting a Targeted Research.
Targeted Researches are available only on businesses in the US and Canada markets. Refer table below for the Market applicability.
