An evidence trail records the inputs and sources behind a conclusion.

## Why it matters

Explain why a company was selected without guessing later.

## Illustrative example

A recommendation preserves the matched domain and links used in research.

## What to check

Keep only the information your process needs and control who can access it.

## How Data SDK fits

Data SDK connects website visits with available company details worldwide, from startups to larger businesses. Coverage and fields vary. Start free trial opens an email request; terms are confirmed with the team. The full API is coming soon.

These are suggested workflows, not a list of built-in integrations. Use your own approved analytics, CRM, and research process where needed. Matches and fields vary. A company match does not identify a person or prove buying intent.
