What happens if the company was already known to SourceX?

Understanding the Duplicate Review Process

When you refer a company to SourceX, we verify if that company is already in our system or actively engaged in discussions with us. If the company is already known to SourceX, your referral may be subject to a duplicate review process, and it might not be eligible for a reward.

Why a Duplicate Review?

SourceX's referral program is designed to reward partners for new introductions that lead to successful data licensing partnerships. If a company was already actively considering or pursuing a partnership with SourceX before your referral, it means your introduction did not initiate the engagement. In such instances, the criteria for earning a reward are not met, as the value of the introduction was already present.

What Triggers Ineligibility?

If SourceX was already in discussion with the company, or if the company had previously engaged with SourceX, your referral may be deemed ineligible. This ensures fairness and proper attribution for the initial engagement.

How Attribution Works

Attribution for a referral reward is typically given to the first valid introduction within a specified attribution window. Once a company completes a verified application based on an eligible referral, credit is locked. This means subsequent referrals for the same company by different partners, or introductions for companies already known to SourceX, will not be eligible for a reward.

What if I'm Unsure?

It's always best to refer companies you have a direct relationship with and believe are new to SourceX. If you have any doubts, you can still submit the referral. Our team will conduct the necessary checks during the review process.

If your referral is flagged for duplicate review, SourceX will assess the timelines and nature of prior engagements to make an informed decision on eligibility. Our goal is to maintain transparency and ensure rewards are allocated appropriately according to the program terms.

Key Takeaways:

Existing leads: If SourceX was already in discussion with the company, your referral might not be eligible. Duplicate review: Competing or pre-existing introductions go through a review process. Attribution:* The first valid referral generally secures credit.
