The name Tessera™ was carefully chosen to align to the Tessera Data mission to uncover the true value of information by revealing the bigger picture. For those unfamiliar with the term, a tessera is a small piece used in the construction of a mosaic.  By bringing all of the tesserae together, the full mosaic image can be seen.

This information can help them and their customers make important trust and safety decisions.
