Implications for data suppliers
RoboSignal interpretation and collection questions, not statements of buyer demand.
- Confirm the required data type and collection setting with the buyer; this source does not establish a complete collection specification.
- Validate demand and acceptance criteria with a buyer before scaling. Publication, popularity and a research result do not establish a purchase commitment.
