The Hidden Costs of Manual Web Intelligence

• Time Drain: Analysts spend up to 60% of their time just collecting data rather than analyzing it
• Inconsistent Formatting: Manual copying creates inconsistent data structures that require additional cleanup
• Coverage Limitations: Time constraints force prioritization, missing potentially valuable sources
• Delayed Insights: The labor-intensive process means intelligence becomes available too late for timely decisions
• Analyst Burnout: Repetitive, low-value tasks lead to decreased job satisfaction and higher turnover

These challenges ultimately translate to delayed decision-making, missed opportunities, and competitive disadvantages in fast-moving markets.
