 "definition": "Card and transaction data is anonymised consumer payment activity — card swipes, bank transfers, and account records — aggregated into panels that estimate a company's revenue before it is reported.",
 "primer": "Transaction data begins as a swipe. Somewhere upstream of the settlement system, that event is captured, anonymised, and aggregated with millions of others into a panel covering tens of millions of deidentified accounts. The most sophisticated panels map those accounts to individual company tickers, giving a buyer a real-time approximation of a retailer's revenue weeks before the company reports it. Buyers should weigh panel representativeness, the depth of history, and the compliance posture around personally identifiable information.",
 "typicalUniverse": "Listed consumer-facing companies — retailers, restaurants, travel, e-commerce, subscription and streaming services, payment networks — mapped to tickers from card and account panels; US-weighted.",
