8x location, 2x LinkedIn

Hey there,

Two weeks ago I told you we were going hard on data quality - closing the gap with the big players, and then some.

Here's where we are - this is what happens now every time you try to find a journalist:

Every time you pull a contact, an agent runs through roughly ten steps in real time - author page, 10+ email provider lookup, email validation, searches the web, finds X profile, finds LinkedIn profile, visits both, cross-checks the bio.

All in seconds. None of it is from a stale spreadsheet - everything is served fresh.

That's one journalist. We're now running this on every journalist you request.

We shipped this upgrade quietly on April 20th and measured the before/after, here's the data:

The deltas, coverage per article processed:

• Location: 4% → 35% (8x). The biggest unlock.

• LinkedIn: 19% → 36% (+17 pts, ~2x)

• X / Twitter: 44% → 48% (+4.5 pts)

• Email: 52% → 53% (+1.4 pts)

We're not done yet. Better journalist data, every single one relevant to you, found faster than legacy players can imagine - that's where we are going.

We're spending another week on data quality next week before we ship any other new features from our roadmap. Coming soon: deeper email validation, more data sources for the agents to cross-reference, and a way for you to flag issues directly when you spot them.
