Hand the Explorium businesses to a companion
One sentence in, and a companion has been through the Explorium businesses, put them where you can read them, and marked the ones it was not sure about.
Open the business. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Explorium afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing changed until you say so.
What it can do is exactly what Explorium exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 6 operations, 6 reads and no writes. In practice that means it can match a prospect ID, match a business ID and fetch prospects, and work across the businesses, prospects and business ids.
The Explorium API stops at Explorium. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Can it match prospect ID on its own?
All 6 operations read.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can match a prospect ID, match a business ID and fetch prospects, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Explorium's documentation.
The businesses are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the prospects. A companion can hold all 6 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Explorium admin becomes a queue you review.
- Match Prospect ID
- Match Business ID
- Fetch Prospects
- Fetch Businesses
- Enrich Prospect
- Enrich Business
It can match prospect ID. Can it act on what it finds?
Through the screens you already use.
Explorium exposes no write operation to a connected account, so a companion drives Explorium in the session you are already signed into instead, filling the same forms you would to move a business, and anything consequential stops for an approval card before it happens.
That is the ordinary case rather than the exception. Most of what a business in Explorium touches has no API pointed at it, and a companion is useful precisely because it does not need one.
Does the business sweep have to be asked for every time?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Explorium businesses pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The research and analysis playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the reporting, the Explorium businesses sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
