About Lighthouse Intelligence

We Built the Infrastructure Trust Requires

Marketing statistics were everywhere. Trustworthy ones were not. So we built the system that changes that.

4.6M+ verified statistics
121K+ primary sources
25-stage quality pipeline

Data you can actually cite

The internet is full of marketing statistics. Blog posts cite each other in circles. Numbers get recycled without sources. Sample sizes go unmentioned. Methodology is absent. The result: marketers are building arguments on foundations they can't verify.

Lighthouse was built to fix that. Our 25-stage deterministic pipeline collects from 121K+ primary sources — government statistical APIs, peer-reviewed academic feeds, verified industry publishers — and runs every statistic through a 6-dimension grading rubric before it's ever published. Source credibility, methodology rigor, sample adequacy, recency, corroboration, and independence are all scored algorithmically. No editorial opinion. No sponsorship bias.

The outcome: every number in Lighthouse carries a full provenance chain, an evidence grade, and auto-generated hedging language that tells you exactly how much weight to give it. You don't just get a statistic — you get the confidence to use it.


How every statistic gets verified

Collect
Continuous monitoring at scale

Agents monitor 23K+ live feeds continuously — government statistical APIs, academic RSS, industry reports, and primary publisher feeds. Data enters the pipeline within hours of publication.

Verify
10-step deterministic checks

Source URL validation, value precision checks (0.1% tolerance), contradiction detection, staleness checks, and cross-source corroboration. Sub-100ms per stat. If a value doesn't pass, it doesn't proceed.

Grade
6-dimension scoring by formula

Source credibility, methodology rigor, sample adequacy, recency, corroboration, and independence — all scored deterministically. A–D grades assigned by formula. Auto-generated hedging language for C-grade claims. The rubric doesn't change based on who's asking.

Publish
Only quality-gate survivors ship

Only statistics passing all quality gates are published. Every stat carries a full provenance chain, citation safety classification, and grade documentation. You always know what you're working with — and what you're not.


Built on three non-negotiables

Evidence-First

Every stat is graded A through D using a deterministic rubric. Zero bias. Zero agenda. The score comes from the data — not from who published it, how often it's been cited, or what story it tells.

Radical Transparency

We show exactly how every score was calculated. Confidence intervals, source credibility tiers, methodology assessments, and provenance chains are all documented and available. If we can't show our working, we don't publish the number.

Built for Practitioners

Designed for the people who actually write reports, brief clients, and pitch ideas. Every interface decision, every export format, every citation helper was built with a real practitioner workflow in mind — not a demo scenario.


The scale behind the confidence

25-stage

13
languages ingested

Why this can't be quickly replicated

Each layer of Lighthouse's infrastructure took sustained, specialised engineering effort. The combination of all four creates a durable infrastructure advantage.

13 languages + 27 government APIs

Multilingual ingestion pipelines normalising data across 13 languages, plus direct integrations with 27 government statistical APIs — each requiring its own schema mapping, authentication, and update cadence management.

6-layer immutable audit spine — 200M+ rows

Every stat, every version, every grade change is logged in an append-only provenance chain. 200M+ audit rows. The full lineage of every number in the platform is queryable — who produced it, when, from which source, and how it changed over time.

Topic Intelligence Engine

Proprietary taxonomy of marketing topics, channels, and metrics — enabling cross-domain correlation, benchmark comparison, and trend detection that generic search or data aggregation tools cannot replicate without years of taxonomy engineering.

Compliance automation — 1,000+ vendor ToS

Automated monitoring of Terms of Service across 1,000+ data vendors and publishers. Ingestion rules, attribution requirements, and redistribution restrictions are tracked and enforced programmatically — not managed by a spreadsheet.

This architecture required 18–24 months to build.

Small team. Serious infrastructure.

Lighthouse is built by a small team of data engineers, researchers, and marketing scientists. Every design decision is oriented around one question: would a rigorous researcher trust this? If the answer isn't unambiguously yes, we keep building until it is.
