Why we hand-build lists instead of exporting an Apollo search

Fair question, we get it a lot, so here's the honest reasoning.

Exported lists are fast, but they're the same lists everyone else is hitting and the match-to-icp rate is rough enough to drag your replies down.

Hand-building means a researcher checks fit account by account, which is slower and costs more, and it's exactly why the reply quality holds up.

Is your current list pulled from a saved search, or actually vetted?
