# Waterfall Lead Enrichment

> How a name and a company become a complete, CRM-ready contact

Enrichment turns a quick capture into a contact you can actually follow up with. It runs behind the AI Badge Scanner, behind QR scans, and on any contact you choose to enrich.

## What You Get Back

Enrichment looks for the details that were not on the badge or the card:

* Verified business email
* Phone numbers, cell and office, where available
* Job title and company details
* LinkedIn profile
* Profile photo

## Why a Waterfall

No single source of business data covers everyone. A tool built on one database returns nothing whenever that database happens to miss the person in front of you.

Wave Connect checks multiple independent data sources in sequence. The first verified match wins and the search stops there. If one source has no record, the next one runs. More captures come back as complete contacts, and you spend less time filling gaps by hand.

## When Enrichment Runs

* **Event badge scans:** automatically, on every scan. A badge usually shows only a name and a company, so the full search runs.
* **QR scans:** automatically. Most digital business card and LinkedIn codes already carry contact details, so the search is shorter.
* **Paper business cards:** on request. Open the contact and tap **Enrich**, or switch on **Auto-enrich new contacts** under **Settings** and **Billing**.
* **Lead form contacts:** on request, the same way.

## What It Costs

Enrichment is paid for in credits, and the cost follows how much Wave Connect already knows about the contact. A contact who already has an email, phone number, or LinkedIn profile needs a shorter search than a name and a company alone. See [Credits and Usage](/docs/plans/credits) for the exact costs. The app always shows the cost before you confirm.

You are never charged when enrichment cannot find verified details, and duplicates never use a credit.

## Where the Data Comes From

Enrichment uses licensed business data sources and publicly available professional information. It returns business contact details, the same kind of information printed on a business card. Your leads are visible only to your own team.
