see the difference firsthand

We gave an LLM the same prompt twice. One output used data from the public web, the other used CB Insights intelligence.

Chapter 01

What we did

Find 2x more companies for your sourcing pipeline.

Chapter 02

Qualifying companies found

Each bar shows how many matching companies each approach found. Click a list to see both sets of companies side by side.

Chapter 03

Where public data fell short

Here’s how often each approach could give a specific answer for the details your list needs.

Method: 25 company lists across niche B2B markets, each built once per approach in August 2026 by the same LLM. For each list, we pooled every company either approach found; a company is qualifying when independent checkers confirmed its key facts (deals, dates, amounts) against a primary source. Percentages in the list-by-list chart are each approach’s share of all qualifying companies either approach found, not of every company in the market. Strictly scored: 23 wins, 1 tie, 1 loss. Company counts cover the 24 lists scored company by company. List requests were written by CB Insights. Three lists were run earlier with simpler instructions.
