  • While finding accounts and you’re not sure if they’re that person or not, take a note and figure out later.
    • If it’s not that person, then it does not belong on the report
    • no “we found this account but it ended up not being that person”
  • If we can’t figure out, we can say “we don’t have enough information to rule out this account, but it’s possible it’s tied to this person”
  • Basically what details you need to include for someone to reach the same information you reached and tie them all together to that person
