Company Profile Completeness: A Benchmark Study
How complete does a company profile need to be for LLMs to generate accurate answers? We tested profiles with varying levels of completeness to find the minimum viable profile.
Completeness tiers tested
- Tier 1 (minimal): name, description, website — 52% accuracy.
- Tier 2 (basic): + founding year, HQ, industry, employee count — 71% accuracy.
- Tier 3 (standard): + products, leadership, funding — 84% accuracy.
- Tier 4 (comprehensive): + verified claims, sources, timestamps — 91% accuracy.
Recommendation
- Tier 3 (standard) is the minimum viable profile for reliable AI representation.
- Adding verification timestamps (Tier 4) provides diminishing but valuable accuracy gains.
