Real-time B2B data vs a static database
Static databases refresh in batches. Real-time systems combine a large graph with live signals. Here is how to tell them apart.
Author: Mawsool Data Team. Figures come from the Mawsool Earth export when cited.
What “static” usually means
Most B2B databases store contacts and refresh them on a schedule — daily, weekly, or monthly. The list you export today may include people who changed jobs last week.
That model still works for broad research. It is weaker when your connect rate depends on whether the email and title are still true today.
What Mawsool means by real-time
Mawsool keeps a large contact graph and adds live signals so records can update when the person or company changes. The goal is fresher lists for outbound and enrichment.
Coverage pages on this site publish dated counts from Mawsool Earth so you can see scale by country without guessing.
How to use the numbers
Open the coverage page for global totals, then open a country page for profiles and personal emails. Those two counts are different lists.
If you need the method in plain language, read How we count before you put a figure into a pitch deck.
