Inputs
- Company website
- Public location data
- Industry context
- Likely buyer titles

Procedure
- Verify the company exists, operates in the relevant region and appears to have recurring workforce-training complexity.
- Record the segment, region, likely buyer, operational trigger, budget band and ABM play.
- Find only public company-level facts or publicly listed business contacts. Do not scrape private personal data.
- Identify the reason the message is relevant: multi-site operations, field crews, seasonal hiring, shift work, documentation burden or new-hire velocity.
- Mark any unverified assumptions clearly in the research note.
- Move the account to outreach only after the reason to contact is concrete.
