Evidence-first prospecting: how Baks qualifies a company

A step-by-step look at how Baks turns a brief into a defensible, qualified opportunity.

Most prospecting tools give you a name and a number. Baks gives you a reason to call. Every opportunity in Konexium carries evidence: a source, a date, a snippet and a confidence score. Here is how that happens.

1. The brief

You describe your target in plain language. Example: “Fintech scale-ups in Nigeria and Kenya that raised Series A in the last 12 months and are hiring sales leaders.”

2. Discovery across 200+ sources

  • Company registries, press releases, investor databases and job boards.
  • Procurement portals, public tenders and sector-specific publications.
  • Websites, social signals and executive changes.

3. Verification and conflict resolution

Baks cross-references multiple sources. If one source says a company is in Lagos and another says Ikeja, it picks the one with the stronger evidence and flags the conflict for review.

4. Decision-maker surfacing

Relevant contacts are mapped by title, seniority and department. Contact details are surfaced only when corroborated, and never scraped from non-public sources.

5. Qualification and handoff

A score is calculated from signal strength, source diversity and your campaign weights. The result is a qualified lead with evidence attached, ready for review or outreach.

What this means for your team

Reps no longer cold-call from a list. They call from a story: “You raised Series A in March, you are hiring three sales roles, and your competitor just won a tender in your space.” That is what evidence-first prospecting changes.

Key takeaways
  • Baks turns a brief into verified company, contact and evidence.
  • Every record shows its source, date and confidence.
  • Qualified leads arrive with a reason-to-call, not just contact details.
