Research and obscure data
Pull scattered public data out of PDFs, government pages, registries, and archives into one clean table.
Planned. Sources are checked one by one before you pay.
Who asks for this
Statisticians, academics, journalists, and analysts whose data exists but lives in fourteen different places.
Say it like this
“Collect the annual rainfall tables published by these 14 regional water authorities into one table, with the source and year for every row.”
What you supply
- The sources, or a description of them
- The fields you need per record
- The years or date range
What you get back
| regiontext · collected | yearnumber · collected | rainfall_mmnumber · collected | source_formattext · derived | source_urlurl · collected |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| North Basin | 2,024 | 1,120 | northbasin.example/annual-2024.pdf | |
| Coastal | 2,024 | 1,580 | html | coastalwater.example/stats |
| Highlands | 2,024 | — | highlands.example/report24.pdf | |
| Valley | 2,024 | 640 | html | valleywater.example/data |
Column labels: collected comes from the page, derived is calculated from other columns at no extra cost, extra work needs another request per row and raises the estimate.
Workflow
How the agent handles it.
- 1
You list the sources or describe where the data lives.
- 2
We check each source and tell you which fields exist and in what format.
- 3
You approve the estimate.
- 4
We extract, normalize units, and attach a source URL to every row.
- 5
You export the table with its sources, ready to cite.
Cost and limits
What moves the price, and where the answer can be no.
Cost drivers
- Number of sources
- PDFs and scanned documents, which cost more to read than web pages
- Whether the fields need reconciling across formats
Where we say no first
- A source may not publish every field for every year.
- Scanned documents can be misread. We flag low-confidence values.
