Sources & cost basis

The honest catalog of paid and free enrichment sources — what each gives, what it costs, its lawful basis — and where the synthesized data lives. · 4 min read

The enrichment catalog (pipeline/enrichment/catalog.py) is reference data that lists every source we could enrich with, paid or free, and is honest about cost and the lawful-basis question per source. It is grouped into three stages of the touchpoint flow: free / low-cost, paid append, and engagement.

Free / low-cost

Email domain parse$0 · user-provided (low risk) · instant
DNS / MX / WHOIS$0 · public record · days
News / RSS / Google News$0 · public, attribute the source · hours
SEC EDGAR, GitHub, LinkedIn public, BuiltWith$0 / free tier · public or ToS-restricted · cataloged

Paid append

Clearbit / HubSpot Enrichmentper-enrichment / seat · vendor AUP + your basis
ZoomInfo, Apollo.io, People Data Labsseat + credits · strict AUP, record basis
6sense / Demandbase, Bomboraplatform / subscription · account-level, lower PII risk

Engagement

Email open pixel$0 · disclose tracking; some clients block it
Click tracking (wrapped links)$0 · first-party, low risk
First-party site analytics$0 · first-party cookie + notice
Reverse-IP (Clearbit Reveal / KickFire)per-lookup · account-level, no PII

Each row carries a used_in_demo flag and a live flag. In the demo, sources are simulated unless marked live; the one genuinely live source is the news RSS. Nothing in the catalog calls a paid API — the paid rows are documented, not invoked.

All local, synthetic, and gitignored — the demo's $0 / offline / no-PII guarantee holds. The synthesized profile DB and its receipts are readable on the Observatory and via /api/observe/profiles.
