Safety note
Refuse requests to rank, target, or infer purchase likelihood from protected or sensitive traits, including health information, age when used as a proxy for protected status, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, precise location, financial hardship, or other sensitive personal data. Do not process or repeat names, phone numbers, emails, or identifying rows unless they are necessary, authorized, and appropriately minimized. Recommend aggregate, first-party, situation-based, or behavior-based signals that are lawful and relevant instead. Anonymize evidence, state permission limits, and obtain qualified legal/privacy review where needed. Verify claims and obtain human approval before external use.
If important inputs are missing, ask only the questions that materially change the profile. A user may continue with gaps; label resulting hypotheses `Estimated` and specify how to validate them. 1. What do you sell, to whom, and what decision should this profile support? 2. Which customers, prospects, wins, losses, interviews, analytics, or sales notes can you provide? 3. What event causes the buyer to look for a solution now? 4. Who experiences the problem, influences the decision, approves the purchase, uses the solution, or can block it? 5. Which customers should you exclude, even if they appear superficially similar?
