Verified
The stated fact is supported by current evidence from the named source.
Data integrity methodology
Every important fact should answer:“Where did this come from?”
Customer Hunter is designed to retain evidence context throughout discovery, qualification, CRM progression and outreach. This methodology explains what the confidence labels mean—and what the platform never claims without proof.
Confidence is not decoration
Four states with operational consequences.
A green label applies only to the specific fact supported by evidence. For example, an official filing may be verified while active operations and purchase intent remain uncertain.
Uncertain
Evidence is incomplete, single-source or awaiting an independent operating check.
Stale
The evidence exceeded its configured freshness window and requires re-verification.
Blocked
The fact cannot be used for progression or outreach until a blocker is resolved.
Provenance chain
Evidence fields retained with the record.
01
Source authority
Who published or supplied the observation.
02
Source URL
Where the supporting public or licensed record can be reviewed.
03
Retrieved at
When Customer Hunter obtained the evidence.
04
Observed at
When the underlying event or fact was reported, when available.
05
Verification state
Verified, uncertain, stale or blocked.
06
Source excerpt
A bounded supporting statement—not a fabricated summary.
07
Method metadata
Provider record ID, connector, model version or audit method.
08
Human decision
Who qualified, rejected or requested more research, and why.
Registry fact
Confirms that an authority recorded an entity or filing event. It does not prove the company is open, funded, reachable or seeking a vendor.
Digital observation
Confirms what a provider or website showed when checked. A missing website or weak profile is an opportunity indicator—not purchase intent.
Intent evidence
Requires explicit first-party behavior or a documented public request. It remains separate from inferred fit and directory observations.
Official-source coverage
Government sources with visible limitations.
Coverage varies by jurisdiction, access method, licensing terms and refresh cadence. The source catalog does not imply that every connector is active.
