# ICP Qualify - the gate Discovery filters match **labels** (industry codes, size bands, locations as a database recorded them). This skill judges **fit**: would this specific company plausibly buy from this specific client? The two questions diverge constantly - acquisitions, competitors, stale headcounts, and shell listings all pass label filters and then waste enrichment spend downstream. The gate exists so every credit spent after discovery goes to a company that could actually buy. The skill is **general-purpose by construction**: nothing client-specific is hardcoded. It first understands the client, then compiles a client-specific **qualification brief**, gets it approved, and only then judges prospects. ## Phase 1 - understand the client Detect the operating mode; never ask for what is already available. - **Package mode** - running inside the chain: inherit the client profile (what they sell, ICP bounds, exclusions) from the chain's client-profile artifact or the router's plan.
