Won asks how OCH collects non-construction data before the digital tool is in place. Harry says it is a mix of information from referral sources and vendors, with verification through referral sources.

Julie Won

So as that tool is coming into play for non-construction contracts, how are you collecting the data now that you've shared with us?

Douglas Harry

So that's been a mix of information collected directly from referral sources, as well as I think we have some information that we've been able to collect directly from

Douglas Harry

vendors as well based on their reporting and telling us we work with so-and-so referral source.

Douglas Harry

In those instances, we would work with the referral source to verify that information.
