Level 1: Raw Contact Data Collection

At the lowest reliability level, contact data is collected without validation.

This often includes scraped emails or outdated phone numbers.
Without checks, raw data creates bounce rates and wasted outreach.

This is the baseline problem business contact discovery AI is designed to improve.

Level 2: Data Validation and Enrichment

Reliability improves when data is verified and enriched.

At this level, business contact discovery AI applies:

• email format validation

• company–contact matching

• domain consistency checks

• basic activity signals

This removes obvious errors and improves usability.

Level 3: Continuous Data Refresh

High reliability requires ongoing updates.

At this stage, business contact discovery AI continuously refreshes contact records to reflect role changes, company updates, and market movement.

This prevents data decay over time.

What Contact Discovery Does Not Guarantee

Even high-quality data does not guarantee replies or conversions.

Discovery tools do not:

• create intent

• replace messaging strategy

• ensure engagement

They ensure data reliability, not outcomes.
