Frequently asked questions

How does Sculptor find companies by market share?

Sculptor pulls companies from multiple business databases for your target industry, then scores each account using a multi-factor model that weights competitive position at 30%. CB Insights adds estimated revenue ranges, commercial maturity scores (1-5), and competitor mapping so you can rank accounts by market standing. Claygent can also scan pricing pages and investor filings to capture positioning signals no structured database holds.

How accurate are the market share and contact results?

CB Insights tracks 12M+ companies with double-validated, source-verified data, giving you reliable revenue ranges and maturity scores for competitive benchmarking. For Head of Strategy contacts, waterfall enrichment queries 5+ providers in sequence, lifting email coverage from roughly 30% with a single source to 80%+. Every email is verified before it lands in your table.

Can I map market share for an entire industry at once?

Yes. Type your target sector into the Sculptor prompt and click Generate to build a full competitive landscape table in one step. Sculptor scores and enriches every row automatically, so you can process thousands of companies without manual research. Push the finished list to HubSpot or Salesforce, or export it as a CSV for further analysis.

Is it legal to cold-email strategy contacts sourced this way?

In the U.S., the CAN-SPAM Act permits unsolicited B2B email as long as you include accurate sender information, a physical address, and a working unsubscribe link you honor within 10 business days. Penalties reach $53,088 per non-compliant message. In the EU, GDPR allows B2B outreach under a documented legitimate interest basis, but you must offer a clear opt-out and minimize the data you store.

Always check the rules for your jurisdiction before launching outreach campaigns.
