How Kustiq built this profile

How this profile was built

  • Live web rendering via Browserless headless Chrome, not a stale cached scrape.
  • Search intelligence via Serper API across the company site, LinkedIn, press, and GitHub.
  • Claude only picks the buckets. It never decides facts.
  • 12-factor churn engine. Deterministic score, zero LLM at scoring time.
  • SMTP RCPT TO handshake on every contact, at delivery time on full profiles (paid plan).

This profile was built from 4 rendered pages of dagger.io and search coverage across the live web on .

Frequently asked questions

How many employees does Dagger have?
Dagger has 11-50 employees, based on public sources read at the last profile run. That makes it larger than 14% of the 57 profiled Infrastructure/DevTools peers with a known team size.
What industry is Dagger in?
Dagger is a SaaS company in the Infrastructure/DevTools segment.
Is this profile actually verified, or just generated by AI?
The structured fields come from a hybrid pipeline. Facts (location, employee range, funding, tech stack) come from live web rendering plus Serper search across the company site, LinkedIn, press, and GitHub. Claude only picks the buckets: vertical, segment, growth signal. It never decides facts. Contact emails on full profiles pass an SMTP RCPT TO handshake at delivery time.
How is this different from a contact database?
Kustiq profiles one company at a time, live from the web when you ask. Tools like Apollo and ZoomInfo rent access to a 50M+ row pool that ages every quarter. Different shape, different price, and the freshness story is the opposite.
What does "track this profile" do?
Tracking saves Dagger to your free dashboard so you can re-run the full pipeline on it anytime. Free with a signed-in account: 3 profiles a week, no card.
Can the profiled company remove this page?
Any company in the Kustiq directory can request removal at /trust#removal. Removed profiles return 410 Gone and stay out of search.
How fresh is the data?
Dagger was last verified 1 month ago. The data refreshes when anyone re-runs the profile (the Re-run now button above does exactly that), and we run the SMTP handshake on contacts when you ask for them, not when we cached the row. The freshness card above the profile shows the exact relative date for the current visit.
