SDR teams
Require a source-bearing record before a candidate enters a sequence. Syntax and domain checks remove obvious errors, while catch-all, role-account, or inconclusive mailbox states trigger review. Managers still govern relevance, volume, suppression, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and hard-bounce monitoring.
Revenue operations
Store discovery and verification as separate fields with distinct source and checked time. Define waterfall provider order, retries, rate limits, overwrite rules, deduplication, CRM export, correction, and deletion. Conflicting providers should remain visible rather than silently collapsed.
Founders
Start with a narrow ICP and a small labeled sample inside the existing agent. Count accepted records, uncertain matches, reviewer time, provider calls, observed hard bounces, and relevant replies. A larger database is not automatically a better fit for a precise segment.
Outbound agencies
Separate each client’s ICP, credentials, suppression list, evidence threshold, exports, and retention policy. Record authorization, applicable regional rules, approved channel, and review ownership. A shared agent workflow must not become a shared client-data pool.
