| WHAT IT RETURNS | A researched verdict with evidence | Structured data fields |

| LIST BUILDING | Discover net-new + qualify | Query existing data |
PICK GUMSHOE IF
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.
PICK CRUSTDATA IF
If you need clean structured firmographic fields and signals piped into your warehouse at scale, a data API like Crustdata is the right primitive.
