Reset Pipeline Data

Delete data files so the sourcing pipeline can be re-run from scratch or from a specific step.

Files by step

Step	Files produced	Path
1 — source-ycombinator	yc_companies.json	data/raw/
2 — enrich-founders	enriched_founders.json	data/normalized/
3 — scrape-website	website_content.json	data/raw/
4 — find-latest-news	company_news.json	data/normalized/
5 — find-latest-fundraise	company_fundraises.json, sourced_companies.json	data/normalized/

Reset modes

Ask the VC which reset they want before doing anything:

What would you like to reset?

  1. Full reset — delete all pipeline data (start completely fresh)
  2. From step 2 — keep YC company list, re-run enrichment onwards
  3. From step 3 — keep YC companies + founder enrichment, re-run website scraping onwards
  4. From step 4 — keep everything through website scraping, re-run news onwards
  5. From step 5 — keep everything through news, re-run fundraise lookup only

Reply with the step number or "full".

Wait for the VC to reply before deleting anything.

Full reset:

rm -f data/raw/yc_companies.json \
       data/raw/website_content.json \
       data/normalized/enriched_founders.json \
       data/normalized/company_news.json \
       data/normalized/company_fundraises.json \
       data/normalized/sourced_companies.json

From step 2:

rm -f data/normalized/enriched_founders.json \
       data/raw/website_content.json \
       data/normalized/company_news.json \
       data/normalized/company_fundraises.json \
       data/normalized/sourced_companies.json

From step 3:

rm -f data/raw/website_content.json \
       data/normalized/company_news.json \
       data/normalized/company_fundraises.json \
       data/normalized/sourced_companies.json

From step 4:

rm -f data/normalized/company_news.json \
       data/normalized/company_fundraises.json \
       data/normalized/sourced_companies.json

From step 5:

       data/normalized/sourced_companies.json

Only delete files that actually exist — skip any that are already missing without error.
