Contact Enrichment Skill

3-tier contact extraction. Runs cheapest method first, escalates only when needed.

Extraction Hierarchy

Tier 1: Direct HTML Scrape (free, always try first)
   → Check: homepage, /contact, /about, /about-us, /contact-us
   → Extract: all emails, all phone numbers, business name
   ↓ (if no email found)
Tier 2: WHOIS Lookup (free)
   → Extract: registrant org, registrant email
   ↓ (if still no email)
Tier 3: Hunter.io API (paid, 25 free/month)
   → Domain search → verified emails + first/last name + job title
