Frequently asked questions

How does Sculptor find company ownership and parent structure?

Sculptor queries HG Insights to map the full corporate hierarchy for each company in your target industry or region. It returns Group HQ, immediate parent, domestic parent, and subsidiary relationships, then flags each entity with boolean fields like Is Group HQ and Is Corporate Parent so you can pinpoint the actual buying entity. It also runs a people search across multiple providers to attach a verified VP of Sales email to every row.

How accurate is company ownership data from Clay?

HG Insights, Clay's primary corporate hierarchy provider, is trusted by 95% of Fortune 100 technology companies and rated the most accurate hierarchy source in the industry. Running waterfall enrichment across providers like Magellan Data and Datagma can lift ownership coverage from the low 40% to the high 80%, as documented in a Clay case study enriching 1,800 Fortune 2000 accounts. Results vary by region and company type, so spot-check a sample before scaling.

Can I map company ownership for a whole list at once?

Yes. Paste a list of company domains, upload a CSV, or pipe rows from an existing Clay table, and Sculptor will enrich every row with parent ownership data and VP of Sales emails in parallel. Once the table is built, push the results directly to HubSpot or Salesforce, or export as a CSV for outbound sequencing.

Is it legal to use company ownership data for B2B outreach?

CAN-SPAM applies to all commercial emails, including B2B, and requires accurate sender info, a physical address, and a working opt-out mechanism. Violations carry penalties up to $53,088 per email. In the EU, GDPR lets B2B senders rely on legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) for prospecting, but you must document a balancing test and honor opt-out requests promptly.

Always check the rules for your jurisdiction before launching outreach, as state and national regulations vary.
