# Web check: verify your top leads like a researcher (Claude Code or Codex)

Paste this into Claude Code or Codex, opened in your leads-kit folder. It turns the scored list into facts you can trust.

```
Read out/sellers_scored.csv. Take the top 25 rows by sell_score.
For each company, search the web (company site, BBB profile, Google Business listing, state license lookup,
local news) and verify or fill:
  phone, website, email (only if published by the company), owner_name (the current owner or president),
  owner_source (where you saw it), handoff_text (a past family handoff, quoted), new_owner_text (any sign it
  was ALREADY sold or acquired, quoted), verified_sources (the URLs, separated by " ; "), verified_note
  (one or two sentences a broker needs: e.g. "sons run it now, internal succession likely").
Rules:
- Public business information only. Never guess. Leave a cell empty if you can't verify it.
- Keep the "name" column EXACTLY as it is in sellers_scored.csv (it's the merge key).
- Do not contact anyone, fill any form, or sign up for anything.
Write the result to out/web_verified.csv with columns:
name,phone,website,email,owner_name,owner_source,handoff_text,new_owner_text,verified_sources,verified_note
Then run: python3 merge.py --in out/registry_old_$STATE.csv --with out/web_verified.csv
and python3 score_sellers.py --in out/registry_old_$STATE.csv --out out/sellers_scored.csv
Show me the new top 10 with one line each on why.
```

The next ./run.sh merges out/web_verified.csv automatically, so you only verify each company once.
