A false positive is a result that incorrectly indicates a condition is present.

## Why it matters

Build a review step before using a match for a consequential decision.

## Illustrative example

A connection is associated with the wrong business.

## What to check

No matching signal should be treated as infallible.

## 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.
