GTM engineers are today’s alchemists, chasing digital gold in a world without a Periodic Table. Clay recipes are traded in private channels, sold as training, and hyped on LinkedIn.

Before Mendeleev, chemistry was chaos.
Each scientist had their own way of naming and classifying elements.
There was no shared framework, just lists of substances with overlapping, inconsistent labels.

Business data today mirrors chemistry before the Periodic Table, chaotic, inconsistent, and localized.

GTM teams search for companies in dozens of fractured sources, each with its own business definition and its own share of fake, duplicate, and outdated records:

• LinkedIn or Apollo for SaaS and marketing
• Google Maps for local businesses and the App Store for mobile
• Tech stack vendors for e-commerce directories
• Government registries for hospitals and schools
• State bar and licensing databases for legal and construction
• Retail and manufacturing, God help you find them

The state of the art is Clay alchemistry, a chain of complex and costly automations, with timeouts and unhandled error codes:

• Scrape from one or more sources, juggling API providers as they get banned and blocked
• For name only lists, run Google Search to find domains, then deduplicate repeat records
• Domain check if live and validate ICP fit with homepage scrape and Gen AI prompt
• Scrape more pages to find business phone numbers, public emails, and social URLs for SMBs
• Append firmographics for some that are on LinkedIn, build more automations for others

The privileged few claim mastery of the formulas, while others look on in awe and aspire to join their secret society.

DiscoLike’s business domain directory is the Periodic Table of GTM, not another messy fusion of twenty half-broken sources. It starts with one universal, verifiable, self-cleaning signal, SSL certificates:

• Every live business website issues one
• A certificate confirms the domain is real, owned, and currently active
• When it expires, the site is dead, automatically pruned
• Certificates are a global internet standard, covering every legitimate online business

DiscoLike is unifying the business domain directory the way the Periodic Table unified chemistry across every element, a living map of the global economy.

DiscoLike’s vector search reveals the precise vertical within the business web, just as the Periodic Table lets you locate any element by its position. Automations above replaced with a simple query.

Would you trust the Periodic Table or an alchemist’s recipes?
