No file to build, no list to buy. The run learns the shape from the account you already serve well.
A lookalike account, pasted companies, named people, filters on your ideal profile, or a file. A BPO always has the first one, which is why the run does not begin with data you do not own.

Why BPOs need this
What we heard, in their words.
The problem
We buy a list, we work the list, the list was wrong.
A head of growth
The problem
Our best clients all look alike and we have never searched on that.
A sales director
The problem
We pitched a company our own client was already serving.
An account director
Questions
The honest answers.
Do we need a list to start?
No. Naming an account you already serve is enough, and it is the input a BPO always has. Pasted companies, people, profile filters and files all work too.
Can we see what it is matching on?
Yes, before the run starts. The shape reads as editable traits, so you can remove the ones that are coincidence rather than cause.
What stops us approaching our own client's customer?
The run reads your own account records. A match already served by a client of yours is flagged as a conflict and held until you decide how to route it.
What arrives at the end?
Accounts in the CRM with readiness, signals and contacts, not a spreadsheet somebody has to import.
How a Prospecting run works end to end: the five sources, qualification against your profile, readiness across six lenses, and the research pack each qualified company arrives with.
