How to get better results

Be clear about your goal. Decide which businesses or people you want to find and why.
Choose the details that matter. Request the company name, website, employee-count field and a clear size group.
Run a manageable search. Start with a smaller sample to see whether the results match what you meant.
Check the important details. Decide your size bands first. Keep an estimated headcount separate from a verified number.
Keep a useful shortlist. Save the results you can explain and leave uncertain fields marked as unknown.

What to look for in the results

Decide your size bands first. Keep an estimated headcount separate from a verified number. If a search returns fewer matches than requested, use the real number. A shorter list of relevant records is better than padding it with guesses.

When Disburse is useful

Disburse can be used through a compatible AI assistant to request structured company or contact research for this task. The exact fields returned depend on the connected tools and available data. You can use the prompts here as starting points, then inspect what was actually returned.

Questions people often ask

Can I trust every result automatically?

No. Review the identity, important fields and dates before making decisions. Not every field can be checked to the same standard.

What if a field is missing?

Keep it blank or mark it as unknown. Change your criteria only if doing so still answers your original question.

Do I have to use the exact prompt?

No. The examples are starting points. Change the filters to reflect your actual customers, candidates or research needs.

A final tip

Company size helps you decide which accounts fit your outreach. Employee figures are often estimates or broad ranges. Decide your size bands first. Keep an estimated headcount separate from a verified number.
