The funding filter failed.

Later-stage companies passed a Series A filter.

The public workflow asks its company-search step for “Latest round Series A.” Yet 26 of the 27 retained companies had announced a Series B or Series B extension before the run. The remaining company, Aha!, says it is 100 percent self-funded, consistent with its 2023 bootstrap history.

These are qualification failures under the implemented filter, not companies that simply became ineligible after the run.

Email deliverability is a different test.

The published CSV supports the reported funnel counts. It records 27 retained companies, 21 emails found, and 20 verifier-positive results. That is internally consistent, but it does not establish that those 20 are qualified prospects.

Names, titles, and addresses are redacted from the public export. We cannot independently check the requested decision-maker, mailbox ownership, or the verifier’s verdict. Nor should an “unknown” verification result be counted as deliverable.

The advertised $0.12 figure is approximately $2.33 divided by 20 verifier-positive emails. It is not a demonstrated cost per fully qualified lead.

Use Strawberry to check the work.

Strawberry read the published CSV, checked all 27 companies against dated sources, and kept missing evidence separate from confirmed mistakes. It then built this page, with each finding linked to its source.

You can do the same with your own lead lists: check them against your actual criteria before anyone sends an email.
