# Overview

> Syntage Score calculates an internal score for a company entity from SAT tax return and tax compliance data.

Syntage Score calculates an internal score for a company entity. The score uses the entity's latest annual tax return and tax compliance data, then exposes the result through the Scores insight.

## Requirements

Syntage Score can be calculated for company entities. People are not supported.

Before starting a calculation, the entity needs the datasource records used by the score model:

| Required data        | How to create it                      |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| Annual tax return    | Run an annual tax return extraction   |
| Tax compliance check | Run a tax compliance check extraction |

If one of the required extractions is still running, wait until it finishes before starting score generation. If the required data is missing or the latest score is already current, the API returns a validation error instead of starting another calculation.

## Starting a calculation

Once the required data is available, start score generation for the entity. Syntage creates a pending score calculation and exposes the calculated value through the Scores insight after the calculation finishes.
