What it does
Bloodhound turns a research question into an inspectable result:
- It plans before it searches. No research tool runs until a validated mission plan exists.
- It searches and crawls public sources on its own infrastructure, from approved search providers.
- It removes duplicates, merging repeated companies and contacts and recording a confidence level for each.
- It keeps the evidence. Accepted facts are stored with their source, and every run keeps a manifest of the pages it read.
- It exports the results as JSON, CSV or Excel.
- It resumes after an interruption instead of starting again.
A private knowledge service lets later runs reuse earlier findings, but only records that are recent and high-confidence.
What it deliberately doesn't do
- It doesn't get around logins, CAPTCHAs, paywalls or access controls.
- It respects robots.txt.
- It refuses private, reserved and local network addresses, and checks again after redirects.
- A lead only counts as qualified with public evidence and a confidence above the threshold.
Those limits are part of the product, not an afterthought.
Where this helps
- Building lead lists that match a specific profile
- Market maps with a source behind every row
- Founder and company research
- Public-source due diligence
Anywhere that "here are some names" isn't enough, because someone has to decide what to do with the answer.
