Data isn’t your challenge—finding, preparing, and trusting it is.

Addressing The Data Capacity Problem

Across sectors, teams lose valuable time searching for spreadsheets, reconciling definitions, and interpreting data without enough context. Valuable time is spent gathering instead of analyzing data.

This Data Capacity Crisis slows insight and limits confident decision-making. mySidewalk solves this at the source by preparing data before you ever open a document. Our Data Library is built and maintained by data experts, so you can trust that the information is accurate, up-to-date, and analysis-ready.

What makes mySidewalk different?
More than 60% of our data is proprietary.

We go beyond raw data sets so you can have clearer insights and make more confident decisions. More than 60% of our library is proprietary data that is uniquely constructed, engineered, or acquired by us. It is grouped into three categories: 

1

Geographic Innovations

Custom-built and harmonized boundaries that reflect where work actually happens.

2

Partner Data

Licensed, specialized, and enhanced datasets that are often resource-prohibitive to access independently.

3

Calculation-Derived Data

Indexes, normalized metrics, and projections custom-built on top of raw sources, avoiding manual analysis.
