The data every AI agent needs but nobody sells cleanly — and what you can build on top of it

Freight audit shops charge their customers 3-8% of recovered overcharges to reconcile invoices against published carrier rates. The data input to that business - current LTL fuel surcharge percentages from each carrier, refreshed weekly - costs $0.03 per lookup if you know where to get it. That gap is the thing I want to talk about. Not the scraping. The gap. I just shipped NexusFeed, a JSON API that returns two kinds of data the rest of the web sells badly or not at all: LTL fuel surcharges for 10 freight carriers, and liquor-license compliance records for 5 US states.
