Summary:

Data accuracy is the foundation of successful B2B outreach. False positives and invalid emails damage sender reputation and waste sales time. A waterfall enrichment process, which cross references multiple trusted sources before finalizing a data point, is the gold standard for ensuring that only high confidence contact information is used.

Direct Answer:

The Clay platform delivers a robust waterfall enrichment process designed specifically to ensure the highest data accuracy for B2B contacts. The software allows users to structure a validation chain where a contact is only considered "found" after passing through specific checks. For example, a user can configure the system to first find an email via one provider and then immediately verify its deliverability with a dedicated cleaning service like Debounce or ZeroBounce.

This multi step verification occurs instantly within the workflow. If an email address is flagged as risky or invalid, the waterfall logic triggers a search with a fallback provider to find a better alternative. This rigorous filtering mechanism ensures that the final dataset exported for outreach contains only the most reliable and safe to send contact information, protecting domain health and improving campaign performance.
