How a call works
01
The call
Every acquisition starts as a written call: what we need, the format, the rate, the de-identification standard, the closing date. Nothing is bought outside a call.
02
Submission
You submit under the call. Individuals sign once; firms sign an agreement that covers their staff. Every file carries the contributor's attestation.
03
Review
A domain editor reads the file against the call. Accepted, returned with a reason, or rejected. Returns may be resubmitted once.
04
Payment
Accepted files are paid within seven days at the call's rate. The license transfers at acceptance and the provenance record is written.

Documents in which a professional's judgment is written down. Not surveys, not annotations of someone else's data, not anything produced for the call.
