Presenting answers

  • Confirm the company first. When a name or symbol could mean more than one company, call resolve_entity before anything else.
  • Keep the source with the claim. Show the source, its date and its confidence next to what it supports.
  • Treat a gap as a gap. A result with looked: false means the data was not seen, not that nothing happened.
  • Show partial answers as partial. Say what is missing rather than filling it in.
