## Learn more about company discovery

A useful company search starts with a clear definition of a good match. Give your agent the business context and evidence needed to judge fit, then let it choose the suitable available Scrollport tool.

**Company discovery or company enrichment?**

Use company discovery when you want to build a new list from criteria such as market, location or company size. Use company enrichment when you already know the company or domain and want to add missing information to that record.

**Define the decision this list should support**

Say whether you are mapping a market, comparing suppliers, finding partners, researching competitors, exploring acquisition targets or building a prospect list. Describe what makes a company useful for that decision, not just a collection of filters.

- Name the target industries, locations, company sizes or stages that matter.
- Include useful criteria such as products, keywords, technologies, funding profile or business model.
- Add exclusions and explain why a plausible-looking company may still be a poor fit.

**Broad company search or a focused source?**

Use a broad search when the defining criteria matter more than where the companies are listed. Ask for a focused source when the list must come from a particular ecosystem, directory or cohort. If the source does not matter, describe the outcome and let your agent select the available tool.

**Shortlist and verify before using the list**

Company-discovery results are candidates, not verified recommendations. Ask your agent to keep only strong matches and verify each company's identity, current status and the facts material to your decision with the appropriate official business registry or other authoritative sources for its jurisdiction and industry. It should label anything it cannot verify and return fewer results rather than pad the shortlist.

- Ask the agent to explain briefly why each company matched your brief.
- Keep discovery and verification sources so important details can be checked before you act on the list.
- Request deduplication before combining results from more than one search or source.

**Add current context when the decision needs it**

Once the shortlist is verified, your agent can use a relevant Scrollport company-news, web-search or public social-post research tool to find current evidence that may change the decision, such as hiring, funding, expansion, launches, partnerships, supply changes, leadership changes or relevant public discussion. Choose sources that fit the purpose and market. For prospecting, these signals may help prioritise further research, but they are not proof that a company intends to buy.

**Example prompt**

Use this prompt to test the brief with a small sample before building the complete company list.

Example prompt to give your agent

`Use Scrollport's Company discovery tools to find companies for [DECISION OR PURPOSE, such as market mapping, supplier or partner research, competitor analysis, acquisition research or prospecting]. A useful match is [MATCH CRITERIA], in [LOCATION OR MARKET], with [SIZE, STAGE OR OTHER CHARACTERISTICS]. Include companies that [POSITIVE CRITERIA] and exclude [EXCLUSIONS]. First inspect the suitable available tool and show me the Scrollport price for one bounded discovery run. Treat its results as candidates, remove duplicates, and shortlist up to [SHORTLIST SIZE, for example 10] strong matches; return fewer rather than pad the list. Then propose the smallest suitable verification route and show any additional Scrollport price before running it. For each shortlisted company, verify its identity, current status and the facts material to my decision using the appropriate official business registry or other authoritative sources for its jurisdiction and industry. Return the company name, official website, discovery source, verification sources, a short reason it matches and any important uncertainty. If current context would materially improve my decision, propose relevant Scrollport company-news, web-search or public social-post research tools and show any additional price before running them. Treat public activity as evidence, not proof of suitability or purchase intent. Wait for my feedback before expanding the list.`
