    01b / strategy evolution

    Launched 2022 as a phone/email validation API, expanded to a ~40-product bundled data API on one credit balance. Channel evolution is visible in the sitemap: programmatic SEO buildout first (area codes, integrations, compare/alternatives), then a free-tools funnel, then the newest surfaces — MCP pages for AI agents and a 30% recurring affiliate program.
