Home/Services/Custom Data Sourcing

Custom sourcing for populations nobody stocks.

Bring the brief. We identify the sources, build the pipeline, validate against a labeled sample and deliver a file with a data dictionary and a measured rate. Most briefs are scoped within one business day.

A custom brief is usually one of three shapes: a population defined by a public source that no compiler tracks (a regulator roster, a program's graduates, a conference's attendees); an audience that requires joining our graphs in a new way (owners of a certain vehicle who also own a home in a flood zone); or a replication of a vendor file you want to stop paying for.

We have replaced vendor scrapes across eleven states of license data, rebuilt on-market and sold feeds from public listing pages where no feed existed, and built audiences validated against coded subsets. The common thread is discipline: validate live before trusting, report the measured rate, and never ship a number we cannot defend.

Pricing is a fixed project fee for the build plus per-record or subscription pricing for refreshes, quoted after scoping.

How it runs

1Scope
You describe the population, geography, fields and cadence. We come back within a day with feasibility, sources and a price.
2Prototype
A sample of a few hundred records with the real fields, so you can check it against what you know.
3Validate
We measure precision on a labeled sample and report it, along with coverage gaps.
4Deliver
Files by download, S3 or SFTP, or an API, with a data dictionary. Refreshes on the cadence you choose.

Questions we get

How fast?

Scoping in a day. Builds run from a few days to a few weeks depending on the sources.

Do you do scraping?

We collect from public sources within their terms and the law, and we decline briefs that would breach either. We will tell you where the line is.
