FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why not treat every product user independently?
Many buying signals appear at the account level. Multiple users, shared domains, and teammate invites often reveal a stronger opportunity than one user alone.
How should ambiguous matches be handled?
Use confidence levels, do not overwrite high-trust account data with weak matches, and keep uncertain users in review or generic paths.
Does account matching help self-serve teams?
Yes. It improves onboarding, lifecycle segmentation, expansion detection, and reporting even when no sales team is involved.
