Employees, customers, advisors and partners may have relevant experience in the market. Confirm identities, current relationships and willingness; an international company affiliation is not guaranteed local access.

Record who matters, what assumptions changed and which conversations qualified. Keep new-market research distinct from pipeline promises.
Orbb can support people and path research and agreed execution. Its usefulness depends on the relevant network and the operating scope; do not infer universal coverage from results in a different segment.
