Understanding HG Insights Data in Clay for Cloud Provider Analysis

Hey, I'd like to understand how HG Insights data work in Clay. I'd use the "Verify Technology usage" with HG Insights in Clay using a company domain - https://prnt.sc/PKBc3flzzC_a My aim is to identify companies using AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure or Digital Ocean as cloud providers. I see the output is limited to 3 products. #1 Shall I just select these ones under Products? https://prnt.sc/bS3JgHhGZ1j- Would that sum up all the products under each of these umbrella technologies? Meaning will I get an "Amazon Web Services (AWS)" output if the company is using AWS Lambda or Kinesis as an example? If not what would be the best way to achieve what my aim is? (above) #2 Checking what I get in Clay vs what I see on my.intricately.com, where the data is supposedly coming from, seems different. For example in Clay looking up peak.ai and limiting it to these products (https://prnt.sc/bS3JgHhGZ1j-) I get these 3 products - Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS) - screenshot: https://prnt.sc/PRZYbecLLWu0 Looking up the same domain/company in the app - https://my.intricately.com/companies/peak-ai-afa59959-6c16-470a-a436-5e327fbec6b5 - I see no Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud platform coming up. How come? What am I doing wrong? Why is there a discrepancy? I would need to look up cloud provider data for close to 5000 companies so I need to be sure of what I am doing before pulling the trigger. Please help me understand the above. And if you have any other ideas or solutions to get to my goal I'd be happy to listen. Thank you!

HG Insights in Clay works at the product level when you pick "Amazon Web Services (AWS)" it covers the full AWS umbrella (Lambda, Kinesis, etc.). Same for Azure/Google Cloud. Limiting to the umbrella names is usually enough for your use case.

Our Engineering team unfortunately replied that we don't have a "concept of an Umbrella product". If you filter by product you'll have to quote each specific product in Cloud Dynamics. So it does look like you'd have to pick a lot of product values to be enriched. That being said, we're not sure whether Clay implemented any logic on top of ours. You could double check with them (I doubt it).
