# View and Verify Paths

> Inspect the connector, evidence, and uncertainty behind a path before preparing an introduction.

Choose **View Paths** from a person result to open the warm-path review.

## Review in this order

<Steps>
  <Step title="Confirm the target">
    Verify the person's name, role, company, and LinkedIn profile when those details are available. Stop if the identity is ambiguous.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read the evidence">
    Review the relationship label, source context, mutual count, path explanation, and last-updated context shown. Not every path has every field.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check alternatives">
    When other routes are available, compare their connectors and evidence. The top-ranked path is a recommendation, not a command.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Interpreting path strength

Displayed scores and labels combine signals available to the product. Use them to compare routes within the current result, not as a universal measure of trust.

<Warning>
  A high path score does not establish consent, availability, or current relationship quality. Confirm those facts with the people involved.
</Warning>

## When no verified path appears

The current relationship data did not produce a usable path for this target. Return to [People search](/people/search-people), review source status, or gather more relationship context outside Introd. Do not convert a public-profile match into a warm path without evidence.
