Detailed analyses of individual AGN are essential to interpret surveys and to understand their biases. With higher spatial resolution and sensitivity, observations of nearby examples reveal differences between intrinsic and observed luminosity and demonstrate the effects of the multiple emission contributions that are present. In particular, star formation is significant in many active galaxies and alters their spectral energy distribution, even at X-ray energies. The physical properties of AGN can be accurately determined when they are isolated from the confusion of their surroundings. The case studies we present here illustrate the fundamental building blocks that should be considered when AGN are measured in surveys, where such discrimination is unfeasible.
