The problem
The Inc. 5000 is a public honor roll of exactly the companies growth-focused sellers want to reach, but as published it is a list to read, not a tool to work.
What Claude Code did
Claude turned a multi-year Inc. 5000 archive into a working browser: filters, per-company detail, and seat-based access for a client team. Two deliberate guardrails shape it: contacts are never bulk-exportable, and refreshing the underlying data never wipes what users have added on top of it.
The result
A client team now works the fastest-growing-companies universe inside one app, with their own notes and progress preserved across data updates.
