How much do we know?
A source is a published page or document behind a claim. The label measures what is documented, not whether a system is good or safe. Missing information does not prove that a safeguard is missing.

The interface and explanatory guides are translated. Record names, record descriptions, quotations, detailed editorial notes, and linked public documents stay in their published language so evidence is not silently changed.
What it does
Find Exporters data uses the Export Propensity Scores to aid users in establishing the export potential of companies on the Companies House register. The algorithm predicts the probability that a company exports goods. This can then be used to identify companies to work with.
If this affects someone
The scope of the tool is to review all UK companies so that the DBT team can make targeted decisions on which organisations to first engage. The tool does not link the propensity of exports and the government support given to companies (if any) and cannot be used alone to measure the success of government support. The tool does not account company export strategies (i.e. low propensity score may reflect a business strategy rather than obstacles in exporting and should not be used alone for that purpose).
Administrative data which gives information in relation to companies.

The score orders work, not people.
Review priority rises for rights-sensitive uses, missing sources, unanswered accountability fields, and old evidence. Strong official documentation lowers it. The score is not a verdict on safety, fairness, or legality.
A missing field means the attached public sources did not answer it. Coverage is uneven, publication does not prove performance, and a certificate has a defined boundary.
