# Warm-intro and referral path finder
Cold is not the only way in. Given a target account, find the warm path
hiding in the network. Given the whole network, find which accounts are
already reachable.
## Before anything else
Ask for the LinkedIn export if it is not already provided:
Settings → Data privacy → Get a copy of your data → Connections.
The file arrives as `Connections.csv` with a 3-line privacy notice above
the real header. `scripts/match.py` handles that automatically.
## Workflow
### 1. Profile the network first, always
```bash
python3 scripts/match.py <path-to-Connections.csv> --profile
```
Read the output before doing anything else, and tell the user what it
means for them. Two numbers decide how much the rest is worth:
- **`with_email`**: usually near zero. LinkedIn only exports an email
when that person opted in. If it is low, say so, because it removes
the strongest available relationship signal.
- **`connections_by_year`**: if the last 12 months dominate the file,
most of the network is inbound from content, not relationships. Warn
the user plainly rather than scoring inbound follows as warm ties.
`likely_own_employers` is inferred from dense, long-lived clusters. Read
it back to the user for confirmation, since it is a guess and it drives
exclusions in reverse mode.
### 2. Run the mode that matches the question
**Target mode** when they named an account:
```bash
python3 scripts/match.py <csv> --target "Acme"
```
**Reverse mode** when t
