Data ops
Waterfalls are the fastest way to fill a table and the fastest way to spend your Clay credits. A few rules keep both in check.
Order by hit rate, then price
Run the provider with the best match rate for your market first. Cheaper providers go first only when their hit rate is close.
Stop on the first match
Every column should stop as soon as it has a verified value. It sounds obvious, but most tables we audit keep running.
Check it monthly
Hit rates change. A quick monthly review keeps the order right.
