Collect Research Data Without the Grunt Work
A CLAW gathers, structures, and cleans data from public sources, archives, and databases so you can focus on analysis, not collection.
The Problem
- Data collection from scattered public sources is the most tedious research phase
- Structuring raw data into analysis-ready formats requires hours of cleaning
- Tracking data provenance across dozens of sources is error-prone
The CLAW Advantage
- Structured datasets compiled from multiple public sources
- Clean, analysis-ready data with documented provenance
- Consistent formatting that imports directly into your analysis tools
How It Works
Define Your Data Needs
Describe the variables, time periods, geographies, and sources you need data from.
CLAW Collects & Structures
The AI agent gathers data from public sources, normalizes formats, and documents provenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What data sources can CLAWs access?
CLAWs work with publicly available sources — government databases, academic repositories, public APIs, and openly published reports. They don't access paywalled or private data.
How is data provenance tracked?
Every data point includes a source citation, access date, and URL. The CLAW delivers a provenance log alongside the dataset.
Can CLAWs handle large-scale data collection?
CLAWs can compile datasets with thousands of rows from multiple sources. For very large collections, they can provide collection scripts you run yourself.
