Pilot Release Notice (Genesis Build)

Version 0.2.0 - Genesis Build

This is the inaugural pilot release of DRG Phantom Core, designated as the "Genesis Build".

Release Status

• Pilot Build: Version 0.2.0, first public pilot
• Source Code: NOT publicly visible on Apify platform
• Access: Limited pilot release with controlled distribution
• Feedback: Actively collecting user feedback for v0.3

Quick Start Guide

1. Simple Mode (Keywords Only)

Just add keywords and run:

{
"mode":"discovery_and_enrichment",
"keywords":["B2B software companies"],
"maxCompanies":50
}

2. Targeted Mode (With Filters)

Add industry and location filters:

{
"mode":"discovery_and_enrichment",
"keywords":["SaaS companies"],
"industries":["software"],
"countries":["US","GB"],
"minEmployees":10,
"maxEmployees":500,
"maxCompanies":100
}

3. AI Scoring Mode (With ICP)

Enable AI-powered lead qualification:

{
"mode":"discovery_and_enrichment",
"keywords":["marketing agencies"],
"aiEnabled":true,
"aiProvider":"openai",
"icpDescription":"Marketing agencies with 10-50 employees focused on B2B clients, using modern martech stack, showing growth signals",
"maxCompanies":100
}

4. Enrichment Only Mode

Have a list already? Just enrich it:

{
"mode":"enrichment_only",
"companyDomains":["example.com","acme.com","company.io"],
"maxContactsPerCompany":5,
"emailValidationLevel":"mx"
}

Test Your Config (Dry Run)

Before spending compute credits, test your configuration with a dry run. This validates your input and estimates costs without making any API calls or consuming credits.

{
"dryRun":true,
"mode":"discovery_and_enrichment",
"keywords":["B2B SaaS companies"],
"industries":["software"],
"maxCompanies":100,
"aiProvider":"openai"
}

What You Get

The dry run returns a comprehensive report:

Example Dry Run Output

{
"_type":"DRY_RUN_REPORT",
"status":"dry_run_complete",
"estimation":{
"costRange":{"min":0.50,"max":1.25,"currency":"USD"},
"expectedCompanies":100,
"expectedContacts":500,
"estimatedRunTimeMinutes":12
},
"validation":{
"inputValid":true,
"tips":[
"Enable AI scoring for better lead qualification",
"Consider using 'mx' email validation for higher deliverability"
]
}
}

💡 Tip: Always run a dry run first when testing new configurations or large runs.

Modern Crawling Layer (2025-grade)

The Genesis Pilot now ships with a production-ready crawling orchestrator:

• Adaptive crawler selection – starts with ultra-fast Cheerio fetches and automatically escalates to Playwright when a domain shows JS challenges, CAPTCHAs or Cloudflare/Akamai fingerprints.
• Domain strategy cache – once a domain is identified as JS-heavy it is routed straight to Playwright for the rest of the run.
• Proxy orchestration & throttling – sticky Apify residential sessions per domain, adaptive retry/backoff for 4xx/5xx, per-domain concurrency limits and jittered delays.
• Smart timeout / retry logic – 5xx => exponential backoff, 429 => wait + rotate proxy, 403 => rotate + escalate to Playwright, with automatic domain quarantine when blocks persist.
• Realistic browser fingerprinting – rotating desktop/mobile user agents, viewport pools, timezone alignment with proxies, stealth scripts and human-like scrolling/waiting.
• Content-based block detection – CAPTCHA / "are you a robot" / Cloudflare challenge pages trigger proxy/session rotation and, if needed, domain-level fallback to Playwright.

Cost Estimation

Understanding the costs before running helps you budget effectively.

Apify Compute Costs

External API Costs (Pay-per-use)

Total Cost Example

For 100 companies with full enrichment + AI scoring:

• Apify compute: ~$0.30
• OpenAI scoring: ~$0.15
• PDL contacts: ~$15.00 (optional)
• Total: ~$0.45 - $15.45 depending on contact discovery

💡 Cost Saving Tips:

• Use dryRun: true to estimate before running
• Start with emailValidationLevel: "mx" (free) instead of full SMTP
• Limit maxContactsPerCompany to reduce PDL costs
• Use "serpSource": "apify" (included) instead of SerpAPI
