## Questions about this skill

### Does it make up emails or contact details?

No. If a name or email cannot be verified from public sources, the field is left as research needed. An email pattern may go in a separate column marked unverified.

### Do I need a paid database?

No. It uses only web search and public, free sources, and respects robots.txt.

### Can I give it my own list?

Yes. Given a file or a list of companies it switches to enrich mode: it keeps your columns and appends the enrichment and scoring columns.
