Engineering

The pipeline behind the score.

Three ingestion paths feed one nightly scoring job, which compresses everything into a single row per person. The dashboard reads only that scored row, never raw events — so it stays fast no matter how much history piles up.

Parent company

Clark X owns the platform. Merit AC earns the attention.

Merit AC keeps its own name rather than folding into "Clark X" everywhere. Clark X Group is the parent behind it — free to take on other software, IP, or ventures without forcing them under one product's identity.
