Review before editing
Open each candidate from the Company panel. Inspect its domain, discovery source, description, potential advantages, and differences versus your company. Keep a candidate when the overlap is explainable in product, audience, use case, positioning, or buying decision. Remove candidates that only share a broad industry term or superficial search phrase.Apply a batch change
