5 fieldsDesign a step-by-step methodology and data-sourcing blueprint to build a B2B prospect list from scratch for the following target parameters: Target Industry/Sector: Commercial Construction Ideal Customer Profile (ICP): Mid-sized general contractors with 50-250 employees and annual revenue between $10M-$50M. Core Offering & Value Proposition: Heavy equipment telematics and predictive maintenance software that reduces worksite downtime. Primary Geography: Midwestern United States (Ohio, Michigan, Indiana) Target Buyer Persona: Operations Manager Provide an actionable, ethical, and public-domain data discovery framework that does not rely on proprietary databases or illegal scraping tools. Your response must include: 1. Sourcing Channels: Specific public registries, trade associations, directory types, and industry-specific platforms where these target companies can be identified. 2. Data Discovery Process: A step-by-step methodology to extract company names, domains, and locations from these non-IT sources. 3. Decision-Maker Identification: A framework for mapping specific job titles and determining contact naming conventions or email syntax patterns. 4. Verification & Enrichment: Manual or semi-automated verification steps to ensure data accuracy and compliance.

A real example

"geography": "Western European Union (Germany, Netherlands, France)",
"buyer_persona": "VP / Director",

"icp_definition": "Regional refrigerated storage facilities operating 3 to 10 temperature-controlled distribution centers.",
"target_industry": "Cold Chain Logistics and Warehousing"
}A small ritual that works
How to use it
- 01Input your target industry, ICP details, and core value proposition into the prompt variables.
- 02Execute the prompt to generate a custom sourcing and verification workflow.
- 03Follow the generated blueprint to identify target companies via trade associations and public registries.
- 04Apply the provided mapping framework to identify decision-makers and verify contact data.
Why it works
The methodology uses a bottom-up framework built on official government licensing boards, trade association directories, and public procurement portals. By starting with regulatory and public-record data, the approach secures verified organizational names, domains, and locations without relying on illegal scraping tools or proprietary databases.

Customisation tips
Replace the specified state licensing boards, regional associations, and procurement portals with the relevant local counterparts corresponding to the target geography and industry parameters.
Watch-outs
- Avoid relying on proprietary tools, browser extensions, commercial email-verification services, or mapping applications not supported by the public-domain framework.
- Do not assume automated methods or unauthorized scraping tools are permitted on professional networks or registries.
- Ensure all compliance and privacy measures reflect the specific regulatory jurisdictions of the target geography rather than broad assumptions.
