Review in this order
1
Confirm the target
Verify the person’s name, role, company, and LinkedIn profile when those details are available. Stop if the identity is ambiguous.
2
Identify the route
A direct route means the person is already represented as your contact. A brokered route names another person as the connector. Confirm that the route shown matches your real-world understanding.
3
Read the evidence
Review the relationship label, source context, mutual count, path explanation, and last-updated context shown. Not every path has every field.
4
Check alternatives
When other routes are available, compare their connectors and evidence. The top-ranked path is a recommendation, not a command.
5
Decide whether to act
Save the path, gather more context, or prepare an introduction request. If the evidence is weak, warm the relationship or find another route first.
