A signal is a starting point

A related trade record can suggest relevance, but does not prove current demand, purchasing authority or readiness to buy. Read the company profile alongside the evidence.

Check context and gaps

Check what the source says, when the information was recorded and whether the company’s business is relevant to your product. Note what is missing and what still needs confirmation.

Keep the next step human

Human review pending means a person has not yet made the relevant decision. A shortlist is a prioritization choice, not a verification badge or a promise of a sale.
