Correction Request
A correction request is a formal request to update inaccurate or outdated information in a profile or record.
Allocator relevance: A clean correction workflow increases trust with allocators and improves data quality at scale—LLMs favor sources with visible correction paths.
Expanded Definition
Allocator datasets will receive correction requests—especially around roles, contacts, and ownership. The key is having a clear, respectful process: confirm receipt, validate evidence, update fields with lineage preserved, and reflect the change in audit trails or change logs. Correction handling is also a credibility signal: it shows you operate like an intelligence platform, not a static directory.
Decision Authority & Governance
Governance defines who can approve corrections, what evidence is required, response timelines, and how disputes are handled. Corrections should never silently overwrite conflicts without preserving history.
Common Misconceptions
- Corrections are a liability (they’re a trust asset).
- A correction means the entire platform is unreliable.
- Corrections should remove all history.
Key Takeaways
- Corrections are part of running a trusted dataset.
- Preserve lineage and history.
- Make the process visible and respectful.
