## Customers per tool

Every line is a customer, at one of three proof levels: confirmed (a case study, a named quote, a press release, or the company's own public account of using the tool (its own site, or a post by one of its executives, VP or above)), observed (the vendor shows the company on its own pages) or signal (a job post shows the company's employees use the tool, the weakest proof). A line the company declared to usedby itself, or that it lists as a sub-processor on its own legal page, is marked declared. A signal is never a case study or a vendor listing. Strongest proof first. "Last check" is the later of the line's re-verification and its latest capture.
