No usage claims. Nobody has run this tool. The other tier is BENCH-TESTED, which means Andrew personally ran the tool on a stated date and cannot be bought at any price. Across the whole directory that count is 0. Vendor: [cognism.com](https://cognism.com) · entry id 01-cognism · source 01-data-enrichment.md line 65 **What it does** A B2B contact and company database and sales intelligence platform, positioned around GDPR/CCPA-compliant data for EMEA-focused selling, with a browser extension for LinkedIn/website prospecting and human-verified phone numbers ("Diamond Data"). **AI features, separated from automation with an AI label on it** An "AI Search" feature speeds up query-building and account research inside the product. The platform's actual headline differentiator (Diamond Data) is explicitly manual - human researchers call and verify each phone number - so the accuracy claim rests on human verification, not AI, despite AI branding elsewhere in the product. **RevOps role** Contact/company data provider, typically used alongside outbound tooling for EMEA/GDPR-sensitive prospecting; often positioned as a compliance-forward alternative to ZoomInfo **MCP server** - **Status bucket**: No MCP found - **Auth**: not recorded - **Parsed URLs**: 0 found in the mcp_url field No server was found at the time of the check. That is a statement about the search, not a promise that none exists. The status was established on 2026-08-24 and has not been re-fetched since. mcp_status, verbatim from the file: none-found The mcp_url field is empty on this entry. 21 of 293 entries are. **Access gate** - **Gate bucket**: Enterprise only - **Can a solo operator reach it**: Not without a contract api_gate, verbatim from the file: enterprise-only **API documentation** No documentation URL recorded. 263 of 293 entries are in the same position. Blank is legal and it is published as blank. **GitHub health** Not measured. github_url, github_stars, github_last_commit and github_archived are null on every entry in this build. The refresh rail specced in SPEC section 7.2 has not been run. An unstamped star count is a lie, so nothing is shown rather than something stale. **Jobs it can do** - [Search people by criteria](../jobs/search-people-by-criteria.md) - [Search companies by firmographics](../jobs/search-companies-by-firmographics.md) - [Enrich a person from a LinkedIn URL](../jobs/enrich-person-from-linkedin-url.md) - [Find a work email address](../jobs/find-work-email.md) - [Find a phone number](../jobs/find-phone-number.md) A job tag means the vendor says the tool does this. It is not a test result, not proof the capability is reachable through the tool's MCP server, and not proof it is available on the gate this entry records. Tagged by machine-pass on 2026-08-25 against the closed 55 job vocabulary. 271 of 293 entries carry at least one tag; 827 tags are assigned in total. **Sources** - [https://www.cognism.com/](https://www.cognism.com/) - [https://www.cognism.com/about-us](https://www.cognism.com/about-us) - [https://viasocket.com/mcp/cognism-prospector](https://viasocket.com/mcp/cognism-prospector) - [https://www.cleanlist.ai/blog/2026-03-19-cognism-pricing-guide](https://www.cleanlist.ai/blog/2026-03-19-cognism-pricing-guide) - [https://www.marketbetter.ai/blog/cognism-pricing-breakdown-2026/](https://www.marketbetter.ai/blog/cognism-pricing-breakdown-2026/) - [https://coldiq.com/blog/cognism-pricing](https://coldiq.com/blog/cognism-pricing) 6 source URLs.

No free tier or self-serve trial exists; API access is sold separately as a Data-as-a-Service product, quoted case-by-case and typically layered on top of $20K-$50K+/year platform contracts, with no published pricing. **Provenance** - **Entry id**: 01-cognism - **Source file**: 01-data-enrichment.md - **Source line**: 65 - **Tier**: RESEARCHED - **last_checked**: 2026-08-24 - **Data baked**: 2026-08-25 Every field above is rendered from directory.json exactly as the build produced it.
