RTIC update types and versioning

A quick-reference overview of how RTICs are kept up to date, and how that update history is reflected in an RTIC’s version number.

Types of RTIC update

RTICs are kept accurate and relevant through three types of update:

Update type	Cadence	What it covers
Full Update	Annual	A full refresh of the RTIC vertical: taxonomy review, updated training set, and a rebuilt company list.
Maintenance Update	Monthly	New companies are classified into existing verticals using our proprietary AI, then reviewed before release.
Hotfix	Ad hoc	Released in response to mismatch or suggestion reports raised on the platform; corrects a small number of companies outside the regular cycle.

Hotfixes are how your reports reach the live data. If you spot a company that’s missing from an RTIC, or classified into one it doesn’t belong in, report it on the platform. Corrections are released without waiting for the next scheduled update.

Versioning

Every update is reflected in the RTIC’s version number, using semantic versioning: Major.Minor.Patch (for example, 1.3.0).

Version segment	Maps to	Meaning
Major (X.0.0)	Full Update	A full refresh of the RTIC vertical, typically once a year; may include reclassification and taxonomy changes.
Minor (0.X.0)	Maintenance Update	Monthly classification of new or updated companies into existing verticals; reviewed before release.
Patch (0.0.X)	Hotfix	Ad hoc correction for a small number of companies, raised via mismatch/suggestion reports.

Example: V 3.0.4 means this RTIC vertical has undergone three Full Updates, and four Hotfixes. A detailed description of our update process is available on request. Email support@thedatacity.com.
