To your either-or: I&#39;d say coverage builds the list and contact accuracy is what makes the list usable, so they&#39;re sequential rather than competing. The catch is that at early stage the company is often small enough that coverage is the harder problem, while at growth stage the company is known and reaching the right person is the bottleneck. That maps reasonably well onto why PitchBook gets described as a daily origination tool and Grata gets picked out for decision maker identification.
