How would a GTM team use it?
1. Research test: snapshot CrustData's outputs for a known cohort, measure which fields change before a commercially meaningful event, and keep only features that add predictive lift out of sample.
What are the caveats?
Verified against Clay's live public integration catalog on 2026-10-17. Clay publishes no catalog-level data-point list for this integration; the action names and descriptions are the verified public boundary. No separate field-level Clay University output section was found in the public documentation corpus; do not infer undocumented fields. Coverage, freshness, geography, credit cost, and BYO-account requirements vary by action and plan. Estimated or inferred values should be validated before investment, legal, credit, or other high-stakes decisions.
