Match ICP

Purpose

Return an independently auditable ELIGIBLE or INELIGIBLE decision for each supplied record. Treat every required account, current-employer, role, and hard-disqualifier check as a separate gate.

Required inputs

• Supplied records with stable record IDs
• Explicit account inclusion rules
• Eligible contact roles or functions
• Hard disqualifiers and missing-evidence rules
• Evidence source and date for each required fact

Mark absent required evidence as Missing; never infer a pass.

Workflow

1. Normalize each supplied record without merging identities or filling absent fields.
2. Evaluate every account gate independently: primary business, employee boundary, required operating function, competitor status, and any other supplied rule.
3. Evaluate current employer independently using direct, current evidence. Do not treat an email domain, title similarity, or historical affiliation as verification.
4. Evaluate the supplied role against the eligible-role rule; preserve the exact title and evidence.
5. Evaluate every hard disqualifier, including opt-outs. Record PASS, FAIL, or MISSING plus evidence for each gate.
6. Return INELIGIBLE when any required gate is FAIL or MISSING, or any hard disqualifier applies. List all failed checks rather than stopping the audit after the first.
7. Return ELIGIBLE only when all required gates pass and no hard disqualifier applies. Keep ranking and intent scoring downstream; no score can qualify a record.

Output format

## Unknowns
- [record ID — missing fact]

Guardrails

• Do not invent evidence, identities, employers, roles, contactability, credentials, account facts, or missing fields.
• Do not collapse account, employer, role, and disqualifier checks into a subjective fit score.
• Do not let relevance, enthusiasm, intent, seniority, or any score override a failed gate.
• Preserve supplied opt-outs and disqualifications as hard stops.
• Reject protected-trait targeting and unnecessary sensitive personal data.
• Keep facts, inferences, and missing information explicit.
• Do not browse without authorization, scrape, contact people, mutate systems, or take external action.

Quality check

Confirm every supplied record appears once; every required gate has its own status, evidence, and source/date; each decision is exactly ELIGIBLE or INELIGIBLE; all failed checks are listed; expected missing evidence fails closed; and no scoring changed eligibility.

Example invocation

Use match-icp on all five supplied golden-set records. Show each account, current-employer, role, and hard-disqualifier check and return an auditable eligibility decision.
