01 · The problem

Why bought lists let you down

Most B2B lists are filtered from a stored database. The titles are often inferred, the numbers are often switchboards, and the people may have moved on since the record was last checked.

Outside US and UK enterprise the gaps grow wider: smaller companies, emerging markets and specialist sectors are thinly covered, and title filters miss the roles that matter.

Inferred titles

A title that resembles your criteria is not the same as a person who holds the role. Pattern-matched records send campaigns to the wrong people.

Numbers that do not connect

A switchboard repeated across a company is not a direct line. Your team finds out one wasted call at a time.

The companies that are missing

Accounts with little web presence never enter a database, which is exactly where your competitors are not looking.

02 · What we deliver

B2B list building, researched to your criteria

Company discovery and profiling

Net-new and lookalike companies that match your ideal customer profile, with whitespace mapped and each account profiled to the depth you specify.

Decision makers to your exact criteria

Contacts matching your job titles, functions and seniority levels, confirmed to hold the role today.

Buying committee mapping

Multiple stakeholders inside a single account for account-based marketing and enterprise sales.

Net-new against your CRM

Every record checked against your suppression file before delivery, so you only pay for what you do not already have.

Numbers that connect

Direct dials, extensions, switchboards and mobiles, each confirmed working and labelled by type.

Contact movement tracking

Where former contacts moved to, and who replaced them in the role you care about.

03 · What arrives

Fourteen verified data points as standard

About the company: company name, total revenue, employee size, headquarters address, phone number, fax number, website, company email address, and NAICS and SIC codes with industry.

About the contact: full name, job title, direct dial or extension, work email address and site address.

Plus any custom field you specify, delivered in NetSuite, Salesforce or Sage format, or your own template, ready to import without cleanup.

04 · Who it's for

Depending on where you sit

Sales and business development

A target market larger than any database you can buy, and no reliable way to size it.

Demand generation and ABM

A campaign date fixed, and buying committees that need mapping in full, not three senior names per account.

Marketing and revenue operations

A CRM you need to grow without importing duplicates or records nobody has checked.

Leadership

A new market or vertical to enter, and a plan that depends on knowing how many companies are really there.

05 · How it works

The same method, applied to your market

We do not hold a database of contacts. Every list is built from scratch against your written brief.

You brief us

Your industries, geographies, company size, job titles and seniority, plus anything to exclude: existing customers, competitors, markets you do not serve.

We research

Web and desk research, trade associations, regulatory registers and regional directories, with telephone research where the web has nothing.

We verify

Every contact confirmed by telephone before delivery. If the person has moved on, we find who replaced them rather than return a dead record.

06 · Selected work

Where this has been done

Competitive displacement across eight European markets

Enterprise data platform company · Contact discovery across named and target accounts in eight European markets, run against a suppression file so everything delivered was net new.

07 · The standard

Every record meets the same standard

KAT-i Verified means custom-built to your brief, 100% telephone verified before delivery, and guaranteed for 75 days. If a record does not match the brief, bounces, or the contact moves on in that window, we replace it or credit it back. On delivery, the data is your property.

We hold no product database. Nothing is aggregated, nothing is resold, and client data is deleted from our systems at the end of the guarantee period.

Start with a free step

Step one

Does the data exist?

Free feasibility study · 48 to 72 hours

Tell us the market, the company profile and the roles you need. We estimate how many companies and contacts exist against those criteria, and if the numbers are not there, we say so.

Step two

Is the work any good?

Free proof of concept · 3 to 5 working days

Send a requirement brief and we build real sample data against it: typically 20 to 30 telephone verified contacts, or 3 to 4 accounts fully mapped.

Step three

You decide the scope

Full flexibility

We scope the project and share the numbers for your approval. No tier to buy into and no seat count to commit to before you know what you need.

Tell us who you need to reach

Send us the market, the company profile and the roles. We will estimate what exists in 48 to 72 hours, or build real sample data against your brief in 3 to 5 working days.

Either way, you find out whether this works before you spend anything.
