Finding clients that actually lands
Finding new clients used to work, then not, then work again, with no way to tell which you would get. The reason was the source: it let a couple of searches through per address, then started handing back stripped, empty results while still looking like a success. On a bad afternoon that was fourteen runs in a row that found nobody.
Finding now leads with a source that does not rate-limit us that way — the same one that already enriches the people it finds — and only falls back to the throttled path when it has to. In testing it returns real people with real profiles on the first try, every try. The run before this change: didn't finish. The run after: done, with people on the wall.
This is the whole point of the Find plan, so it had to be boring and reliable rather than lucky. It is now boring.
