AI collapsed product development to weeks.
Data acquisition is still stuck at
6-12 months.
Today, you either commit blind to a 12-month contract or spend months evaluating—just to learn the data doesn't deliver. AquaData lets you go from vendor search to production in 4 weeks.
Building in stealth and validating with partners.
The 12-Month Bottleneck
Every new vendor compounds the problem. Here's where it breaks down.
Discovery
Months wasted on vendors who can't sell to your industry, don't have the coverage you need, or have compliance restrictions that kill the deal.
Evaluation
What "high confidence" means to one vendor is completely different from another. Every vendor has their own schema, scoring logic, and data model. Understanding each one takes weeks—multiply that by every vendor you're evaluating.
Legal & Commercial
NDAs, compliance reviews, contract negotiations, pricing terms—each vendor requires this from scratch. Legal delays alone can stall progress for months.
Integration
Custom pipelines, data normalization, fallback logic, monitoring, suppression lists—ongoing engineering work for every vendor that never ends.
Why data evaluation is broken (and no one admits it)
Someone has to send data first. And that's where trust breaks down.
Vendors won't send millions of records without getting paid first. Buyers often can't share production data—compliance rules, internal policy, or contractual restrictions may block it.
So both sides hold back. Evaluations stay shallow. And you end up committing to vendors you've never truly tested.
Solution
The Infrastructure Layer
One platform to discover, evaluate, and operate all your external data needs.
Discover
The Vendor Intelligence Layer
Skip the sales calls. See coverage, pricing, and compliance fit upfront—so you only talk to vendors worth your time.
Evaluate
The Neutral Sandbox
Benchmark vendors against your actual use case without the risk. Our Secure Clean Room protects both sides—no IP theft, no training on your data. Just results.
Operate
Production Orchestration
One integration. All your vendors. Call multiple sources in parallel, normalize responses, handle failures, and stay compliant. You manage one connection—not ten.
Legal and commercial friction? When evaluation is secure and integration is standardized, most of it disappears. One platform, fewer contracts, less overhead.
Market Timing
Why Now
AI changed the game. Data acquisition didn't keep up.
The Speed Gap
AI collapsed build times from months to weeks. Data acquisition is still 6-12 months. The gap is no longer acceptable—it's now the primary bottleneck.
The Competitive Edge
When products are easy to build, differentiation comes down to data. The company that finds and operates the right data faster wins. Spending months evaluating while a competitor locks in the better source is a losing strategy.
The Resource Reality
Large enterprises absorb data acquisition pain with dedicated teams and deep vendor relationships. Mid-market companies can't compete on headcount. They need infrastructure that handles data acquisition so they can focus on building.
