Context.dev returns industry labels for product segmentation and standard codes for systems that require NAICS or SIC. Choose the taxonomy your application or downstream system expects.

​
Compare EIC, NAICS, and SIC

These taxonomies solve different interoperability problems. Do not convert between them by truncating digits or matching labels; keep the source taxonomy with every stored code.

​
Choose a taxonomy

  • Use EIC when you control the categories and want readable industry and subindustry labels from the existing Brand call.
  • Use NAICS when a CRM, reporting pipeline, government dataset, or customer contract expects NAICS codes.
  • Use SIC when an existing dataset uses SIC or your workflow needs the SEC-published classification list.
You can store more than one taxonomy for the same company. Record the taxonomy name, code, title, and Context.dev confidence together so later consumers do not confuse the values.

​
Use confidence

NAICS and SIC results label each match high, medium, or low confidence. Decide what your product does with each level: Confidence describes the fit between the company and returned code. It does not verify how another institution has officially registered that company.
