Quickstart
Start with the contract key, identify the correct product surface, and validate delivery assumptions before wiring automation.
Start here
Veridical Tech exposes productized data surfaces, not a raw administrative backend. The first task is to identify the correct product surface and its query contract.
Use geo_object_id as the primary contract key across region-facing products.
Choose a product surface before designing any downstream schema.
Read the freshness and coverage notes for each product before treating it as universal coverage.
Recommended evaluation order
The fastest way to evaluate fit is to begin with the most stable delivery surfaces, then expand into bounded surfaces once semantics are clear.
1. Review Macro Indicators or Region Facilities if you need the most stable current live surface.
2. Review Region News and Region Events if you need time-sensitive contextual signals.
3. Review Region Profile if you need synthesized context rather than a direct feed.
First requests to try
Use these as contract probes rather than stress tests. The goal is to validate semantics, not maximize throughput on day one.
