intent enrichment error new office location signal attached to similarly named company

TL;DR

Fix this in intent enrichment by acting on the exact message first: match the new office signal on domain plus registered address rather than company name similarity, reject the match to the similarly named company, attach the signal to the account whose domain and address both fit, and add a manual review queue for name only matches. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one account, batch or record set first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Use this when

• The operation in intent enrichment fails with this exact message or symptom: intent enrichment error new office location signal attached to similarly named company.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• Expansion scoring, alerting or outreach is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is an outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this error remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output quality. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in intent enrichment, and copy the full message plus the account, signal or job involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this error: match the new office signal on domain plus registered address rather than company name similarity, reject the match to the similarly named company, attach the signal to the account whose domain and address both fit, and add a manual review queue for name only matches. Verify: the smallest failing scope now completes, or the named account, signal or job behaves as the fix predicts.
3. Check the neighbouring accounts, signals or jobs that share the same config, schema or source, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in intent enrichment on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
5. Compare the result counts, scores or status against the source in intent enrichment so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

Name similarity matching confuses distinct companies with near identical names, and an office opening by one is then scored as expansion intent for the other.

How to fix - intent enrichment error new office location signal attached to similarly named company

The how-to phrasing for the same failure in intent enrichment. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

intent enrichment troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom-first phrasing used when the console hides the full message. Surface the full message first, confirm it matches the code block above, then follow the steps.

Edge cases

• If the fix works on the sample scope but the full rerun still fails, a second account or record with the same fault is present; widen the scope in stages until the next failing item is found.
• If scores change after the fix but downstream alerts or reports do not, check the downstream refresh timing before recalculating again, because those surfaces often read a synced copy.
• If the source information itself is missing for the affected accounts, record that as a source gap rather than scoring the accounts as zero.

Compatibility: intent enrichment at current versions, plus the platform API or console the query names; no extra tooling beyond the source system access needed to verify counts.
