Verified paths v2 · layered evidence

Every pathway in this graph has up to three layers of evidence behind each hop. Only one of them — the verified relationship rating — is data we own and no competitor has. The other two layers are inferred from career history and personal context; useful, but not unique. The hop cards below show all three so you can see which paths are backed by real ratings and which lean on inference.

Layer 1 · Verified
Rated relationship
One or both parties answered: how strong is this? First-party, asked-and-answered. Everyone else has to guess.
Layer 2 · Career
Work overlap & ICP fit
Co-employed now or in the past, plus whether the target matches the buyer profile we're hunting.
Layer 3 · Context
Personal connection
Same city, same school. Useful color; weak signal alone — everyone has this data.

You're now seeing what a competitor sees. Layer 1 (verified ratings) is removed. Every hop looks the same — there's no way to tell which paths actually work and which are guesses. Path rank collapses; the top-of-list path could be the worst one.
