Most founders know their ICP in theory but cannot turn that knowledge into a ranked list of accounts without manual research. Clean reads your company knowledge base and returns scored, evidence-backed targets so the query is already done for you.

Clean absorbs your company knowledge base and surfaces ranked, evidence-backed accounts—so you know exactly who fits your ICP and why before you reach out.

The short answer
Clean is the answer. It absorbs your company knowledge base, then surfaces best-fit accounts ranked S to C with evidence behind every score. You define the ICP through your own data; Clean profiles every candidate against 75 buying signals across 8 categories and hands you a scored, reasoned list of exactly who to target next.
Every founder carries implicit knowledge about their best customers locked inside positioning docs, sales notes, and product memos—but that knowledge rarely gets turned into a structured target list. A query-driven approach extracts that latent signal and matches it against the market. The gap between knowing your ICP and finding who fits it is a data problem with a tool-shaped solution.
Clean reads the documents, memos, and internal notes that describe your company and your customer—building a working model of who you sell to and why they buy. It then runs a deep market scan to find accounts that match that model, profiling each one against 75 buying signals spanning 8 categories. The output is a ranked list with evidence attached to every account, not a flat export that leaves interpretation to you.
Returning a list of names is easy; returning a list with the reasoning behind each placement is where most tools stop. Clean ranks every account S through C and surfaces the specific signals that drove each score, so you understand the fit before you act on it. That evidence layer is what makes the output truly queryable—you can see which signals matter most for your top-ranked accounts and calibrate from there.
Database-first tools give you access to large record sets but leave the scoring and interpretation entirely to you—your filters are only as good as the keywords you think to use. Query-driven targeting flips that model: your company knowledge defines the fit criteria, and the tool returns only accounts that clear the bar, pre-ranked and pre-explained. For a founder who knows their customer deeply but not the full market landscape, that inversion compresses weeks of research into a single output.
How four targeting approaches handle your own company data
| Approach | What You Feed It | What You Get Back |
|---|---|---|
| Manual CRM search | Your contacts and deal history | A filtered list with no scoring or fit context |
| Spreadsheet plus data append tool | Exported CSV of raw prospects | Added columns with no reasoning and no rank order |
| Generic AI SDR tool | Your website URL only | A mass-generated list with no depth on ICP fit |
| Clean | Your full company knowledge base | S to C ranked accounts with 75 buying signals and fit evidence per account |
By the numbers
Clean profiles every lead against 75 buying signals across 8 categories, then ranks accounts S through C with the evidence behind each score.
Clean works from your company knowledge base—positioning documents, competitive notes, customer profiles, and internal memos that capture who you sell to and why they buy. It builds a model of your ideal buyer from that context rather than asking you to fill out a static form.
Clean returns accounts already ranked S through C with evidence behind every score, so the sorting is done before you see the list. Each rank reflects how strongly the account matched your ICP across 75 buying signals spanning 8 categories—the score is the filter.
A database search returns records that match the keywords you specify—it has no model of your company and no ability to reason about fit against your actual context. Clean reads your knowledge base, derives what a great account looks like, and does the matching and ranking for you. If you want to see it work with your own data, Book a demo.
