THE WEDGE
A data API is perfect when you know exactly which field you want. It's the wrong tool when the question is fuzzy: 'does this company actually sell autonomous agents, or just say AI?' That needs reading and judgment across pages, not a field lookup. That's the line between data and research.
WHEN CRUSTDATA IS THE RIGHT CALL
If you need clean structured firmographic fields and signals piped into your warehouse at scale, a data API like Crustdata is the right primitive.
