Data sources & freshness

V-Rail draws on three kinds of source:

• Company websites. Your own site, and the public sites of the companies we surface — what they sell, how they price it, who they say they serve.
• Publicly posted job listings. Roles a company is openly hiring for, as published on its own careers pages.
• Professional-network company and people data, licensed from third-party providers.

The providers we rely on, and the legal basis for processing, are named in the privacy policy (§5, sub-processors). V-Rail is not a data broker: we do not sell, license, or redistribute contact databases, and bulk export is not a feature.

We never show data as fresher than it is. Every analysis is stamped with the moment it was run, and figures carried inside it are the figures as of that moment — not a live feed.

Sources age at different speeds. A pricing page may have changed this morning; a headcount figure may be weeks behind the company’s own reality. Where we are not confident a number is current, we say so rather than quietly presenting it as fact. Where a source could not be reached at all, the analysis says that too, instead of filling the gap.

Re-running an analysis re-reads the sources and re-stamps the result.

A fit grade is a recommendation, not a verdict. It is our reading of how closely a company resembles the buyers your business is built to serve. It is not a verified assessment, not a prediction that they will reply, and not a promise that they will buy.

We publish grades so you can spend your attention in a better order than alphabetical. You remain the decision-maker. Verify before you rely on anything here for a business decision — this is also written into the Terms (§7).

The facts are free. Your Scorecard — who your best-fit buyers appear to be, and why — costs nothing and requires no account.

What you pay for is the finished work: the contact resolved and checked, the outreach written for a specific buyer, the analysis assembled into something you can act on. We do not put a bare, sourced fact behind a paywall, and we do not present a guess as a fact to fill a paid page.
