Does automatic profiling replace manual research entirely?
For most accounts, yes. Clean covers discovery, the evidence and fit. You may choose to go deeper on a top account before a high-stakes meeting, but Clean removes the bulk of the manual work.
Where does the information in a profile come from?
From dated records of what companies do: government filings (loans, permits, contract awards, registrations), trade and shipping records, fleet and safety records, company sites and the trade press. Clean's own datasets and licensed company data fill the gaps. The people at each company come from licensed data providers, and work emails and phone numbers come from licensed contact-data providers and are verified before they show.
