What network data should GTM engineers add beyond contact enrichment?

GTM engineers should add network data when a workflow needs to understand connections, influence hypotheses or possible access, rather than just identify contacts. Look for stable identities, dated evidence and validation status. Public history can support research, but verified interaction or connector confirmation may still be needed before routing an introduction or claiming relationship strength.

Define the business decision

Examples include selecting an appropriate connector, preparing an account brief or prioritising research. Do not add graph fields solely because they are available.

Assess sources by evidence type

Career history suggests overlaps. Public affiliations suggest research angles. Authorised interactions show communication. Connector feedback establishes familiarity and willingness for a particular request. Preserve these distinctions.

Design the workflow

Resolve identities, retain source dates, handle missing evidence and keep permissions in the application. A possible path should create a validation task, not immediately trigger an external message.

Evaluate data delivery

Request current schema, provenance, coverage, refresh behaviour, permitted use and API limits. Test known people and failure cases.
