Your goal:
Main bottleneck:
Tool and plan:
Date tested:

Use the same source notes for each tool. For tasks 1 and 3–6, mark:
Easy / Needs extra work / Not completed / Not available
Task 2 has five separate result records. Use its labels:
Observed / Manual workaround / Failed / Not run.
Record evidence, corrections and work you had to do yourself.

1. Prepare a post from one real idea and your own writing example.
Result:
Corrections needed:

2. Check the shortlist before trusting the score.
Finding a profile, adding it to a workspace and deciding whether it fits your
offer are different jobs. Keep their results separate.

FICTIONAL INPUTS — NOT TESTED PRODUCT OUTPUTS
Bravabase publishes this guide and offers a paid workspace. These original
fictional inputs and expected reasoning are not benchmark results from
Bravabase or another vendor. No product has been scored with this exercise.

Use the cards to compare reasoning only if the tool accepts supplied notes.
Otherwise mark that test Not run. Do not create LinkedIn profiles for these
people or treat pasted notes as live discovery. For a real discovery/import
test, use an existing record you are authorized to inspect and record the
actual source and result separately. Pasted notes are manual input, never
native import.

Offer: a process review for independent wholesalers that transfer stock
between warehouses. It diagnoses handoff responsibilities; it does not
supply warehouse software or recruitment.

A. Nila / Cedar Wholesale
Company note: an independent wholesaler operating two warehouses.
Role: operations manager.
Message: "We reconcile transfer counts by hand. Please send your handoff checklist."
Budget, purchase authority and review deadline: not stated.
Expected reasoning: relevant stated need and a requested resource. Answer
the checklist request; paid help has not been agreed. Do not invent a
deadline, budget or purchasing authority.

B. Owen / Cedar Creative
Company note: a creative agency producing brand films; no warehouse
operations are described.
Role: founder.
Comment: "Useful checklist. We are hiring a video editor."
Expected reasoning: outside this offer's stated scope. Seniority and
engagement do not fix the mismatch. A score alone is not a reason to
qualify or contact this person.

CORRECTION CHALLENGE — A ONLY
Replace Nila's message with:
"We have finished that review. Please wait until I contact you."
Expected reasoning: pause the next action. Do not infer a follow-up date,
promise automatic stopping or assume that a stop control exists. This
checks revision handling; it does not test sending.

YOUR RESULTS — LEAVE BLANK UNTIL TESTED
Product / plan / version if shown:
Test date:
For each step use: Observed / Manual workaround / Failed / Not run.

AFTER A REPLY: THE SAME SCENARIO FOR EVERY SETUP
Fictional scenario: a reader asks for your approval checklist after a post
about project handovers. You agree to send it on a particular day.
Where can you find the post topic and their exact question?
If a sequence is running, how do you stop or adjust its next step?
Where is the promised resource and agreed date recorded?
Can you return tomorrow and find the conversation and current action?
How many places did you need to search or copy between?
What worked, what did not, and what did you directly verify?
