Why selection belongs before enrichment

Start with broad discovery

Collection helps you see who is present in a conversation or source. Many of those people will not fit your research criteria.

Make selection explicit

Define a few clear criteria and inspect profile and activity context before choosing a record.

Research the chosen people

Public website and contact research is more useful when applied to a smaller, relevant set. Keep collection costs separate from deeper enrichment.

A useful research record should explain what was observed, where it came from, and what still needs checking.

Keep your evidence

For each added detail, retain its source and verification state. A possible contact path is not the same as a verified address.
