These two statements to me imply that (1) we don't have a clear idea of what data we *want* in order to help us make spending decisions and consequently (2) we are free to pick a 3rd party provider which provides as-yet-unknown amounts of data, with the assumption that it will give us what we want. It seems to me that when doing something as privacy sensitive as this we should probably figure out exactly what data we want to collect *first*. Then, if and only if we can't collect it using in-house code, we should consider going with a third party service.
