Getting started
Knowledge Base
KB contains your company context, ICPs, personas, and exclusions so 1eyeᴬᴵ can evaluate signals, build lists, and target the right companies and contacts.
Knowledge Base is the GTM brain of your 1eyeᴬᴵ workspace. It tells 1eyeᴬᴵ what your company does, which target companies matter, which target contacts to find, and which companies should be excluded from targeting.
1eyeᴬᴵ builds your initial Knowledge Base automatically from your company website, domain, and workspace context. Your team can then review, edit, add, or remove items before launching campaigns.
Before you begin
To review your Knowledge Base, you need:
A 1eyeᴬᴵ workspace
Your company domain added to the workspace
Admin or workspace access
Basic understanding of your target market
For this guide, we’ll use Snowbricks as the example workspace.
Field | Example |
|---|---|
Company | Snowbricks |
Domain | snowbricks.io |
Workspace admin | Matt Bru |
Admin email | |
Company type | B2B AI data company |
Where to find the Knowledge Base
You can access the Knowledge Base from the top-right navigation in your 1eyeᴬᴵ workspace.
Open your 1eyeᴬᴵ workspace
Go to the top-right navigation
Select Knowledge Base
Review the tabs inside the Knowledge Base
The Knowledge Base includes four main tabs:
Workspace Info
ICPs
Personas
Exclusions
Each tab helps 1eyeᴬᴵ understand a different part of your GTM strategy.
What 1eyeᴬᴵ creates for you
When your workspace is created, 1eyeᴬᴵ builds an initial Knowledge Base for your company.
For Snowbricks, 1eyeᴬᴵ may create:
Workspace information based on snowbricks.io
ICPs for companies that are a strong fit
Personas for target contacts inside those companies
Exclusions for companies that should not be targeted
This gives your team a starting point instead of forcing you to build GTM strategy from a blank page.
Why the Knowledge Base matters
The Knowledge Base powers how 1eyeᴬᴵ evaluates signals, builds target lists, and launches campaigns.
When a company signal comes in, 1eyeᴬᴵ evaluates whether the company matches your ICPs.
When a contact signal comes in, 1eyeᴬᴵ evaluates whether the contact matches your personas.
That means your ICPs and personas directly shape which companies and contacts get prioritized, enriched, added to lists, and moved into campaigns.
A strong Knowledge Base helps 1eyeᴬᴵ answer three important questions:
Is this company a good target company?
Is this person a good target contact?
Should this company or contact be added to a target list or campaign?
Workspace Info
The Workspace Info tab contains the core company context for your workspace.
For Snowbricks, this may include:
Field | Example |
|---|---|
Workspace name | Snowbricks |
Domain | snowbricks.io |
Description | Snowbricks is a B2B AI data company that helps teams activate trusted data, automate workflows, and turn business context into actionable intelligence. |
Company logo | Snowbricks logo |
This information helps 1eyeᴬᴵ understand what your company does and how to position your GTM motion.
What to review in Workspace Info
Review the Workspace Info tab for accuracy.
Check:
Company name
Domain
Company description
Logo
Market category
Product description
Value proposition
For Snowbricks, make sure the description clearly explains that Snowbricks is a B2B AI data company.
A strong description could be:
ICPs
ICPs define the types of target companies that are a strong fit for your product.
1eyeᴬᴵ uses ICPs to evaluate companies, prioritize signals, build target lists, and decide which accounts should move into campaigns.
When a company visits your website or shows activity, 1eyeᴬᴵ evaluates that company against your ICPs. If the company matches one or more ICPs, it can be prioritized as a target company.
For Snowbricks, 1eyeᴬᴵ may create ICPs based on the company website, product category, and market context.
Example ICPs for Snowbricks
Here are example ICPs for Snowbricks as a B2B AI data company.
ICP Name | Short Name | Description |
|---|---|---|

Customer Data and Analytics Teams | DATA-OPS | Teams responsible for organizing customer, account, and behavioral data across tools so the business can act on it. |
How ICPs are used
1eyeᴬᴵ uses ICPs to understand which companies Snowbricks should care about.
ICPs help 1eyeᴬᴵ:
Score companies for fit
Evaluate company signals for ICP match
Prioritize website visitors
Identify target companies
Build target company lists
Recommend campaign audiences
Personalize outreach based on company type
Exclude companies that are not a fit
How to review ICPs
Open the ICPs tab and review each ICP created by 1eyeᴬᴵ.
For each ICP, check:
ICP name
Short name
Description
Company type
Industry fit
Company size fit
Geographic fit
Buying triggers
Use cases
Whether the ICP should be active
A good ICP should be specific enough for 1eyeᴬᴵ to make targeting decisions.
Weak ICP:
Better ICP:
Add or edit ICPs
You can add a new ICP if 1eyeᴬᴵ missed an important target segment.
Use Add ICP to create a new ICP.
Add a new ICP when:
You are entering a new market
You sell to multiple company types
You want to separate enterprise and SMB targeting
You have different messages for different industries
You want to build campaigns for a specific segment
Edit an ICP when:
The description is too broad
The company type is not accurate
The ICP includes companies you do not want
The ICP misses important buying triggers
The ICP needs clearer targeting language
Personas
Personas define the target contacts 1eyeᴬᴵ should find inside target companies.
Personas help 1eyeᴬᴵ understand who to identify, enrich, prioritize, and engage.
When a contact signal comes in, 1eyeᴬᴵ evaluates whether that person matches your personas. If the contact matches one or more personas, 1eyeᴬᴵ can prioritize them as a target contact.
For Snowbricks, personas should focus on the people who own data, revenue operations, GTM systems, analytics, AI adoption, and business automation.
Example personas for Snowbricks
Here are example personas for Snowbricks as a B2B AI data company.

Identify relevant contacts
Evaluate contact signals for persona match
Enrich work emails and phone numbers when available
Match contacts to target company context
Personalize campaign messaging
Choose the right angle for outreach

For each persona, check:
Persona name

Function
Department
Job titles
Pain points
Buying role
Relevance to your GTM motion
A good persona should describe the person 1eyeᴬᴵ should find, not just a generic department.

Add or edit personas
Use Add Persona to create a new target contact type.
Add a persona when:
You sell to a new function
You need to target a new seniority level

1eyeᴬᴵ missed an important target contact
You want to personalize messaging by job function
Edit a persona when:
The title list is too broad
The function is wrong
The persona is not part of the buying process
The description is unclear

Build lists from ICPs and personas
You can use ICPs and personas to source and build target lists.
1eyeᴬᴵ can help you build:
Target company lists based on ICP match
Target contact lists based on persona match
Campaign audiences based on company fit and contact relevance
Lists from active signals, such as website visitors or engaged contacts
Lists for specific segments, industries, roles, or use cases
For Snowbricks, you could build a list like:
Or:
This is where the Knowledge Base becomes operational. ICPs define the companies. Personas define the contacts. 1eyeᴬᴵ uses both to help you build sharper lists and launch better campaigns.
Exclusions
Exclusions are companies that 1eyeᴬᴵ should not target.
1eyeᴬᴵ creates an initial exclusion list for your workspace. You can review it, add companies, remove companies, or edit the list over time.
For Snowbricks, exclusions help prevent 1eyeᴬᴵ from targeting companies that are not useful, not relevant, or should be avoided.
What to exclude
You can exclude companies such as:
Your own company
Existing customers
Competitors
Partners
Vendors
Investors
Agencies
Students or academic organizations
Companies outside your market
Companies your team does not want to contact
For Snowbricks, example exclusions could include:
Company | Reason |
|---|---|
Snowbricks | Own company |
Existing customers | Already customers |
Direct competitors | Do not target competitors |
Current vendors | Not part of outbound targeting |
Implementation partners | Partner relationship, not prospecting |
Recruiting agencies | Not a target company |
Universities | Not a priority ICP unless intentionally targeted |
Consumer apps | Not a B2B AI data target |
Small local businesses | Not a fit for Snowbricks’ B2B AI data motion |
How exclusions are used
1eyeᴬᴵ uses exclusions to avoid targeting the wrong companies.
Exclusions help 1eyeᴬᴵ:
Keep target lists clean
Avoid contacting competitors
Avoid contacting customers
Avoid wasting credits
Improve campaign quality
Reduce irrelevant outreach
Keep GTM workflows focused
How to review exclusions
Open the Exclusions tab.
Review the companies that 1eyeᴬᴵ added automatically.
Check:
Company name
Domain
Reason for exclusion
Whether the company should stay excluded
Whether any important companies are missing
If a company should not be targeted, keep it in exclusions.
If a company was excluded by mistake, remove it from the list.
Add an exclusion
Use Add Exclusion when you want 1eyeᴬᴵ to avoid a specific company.
Add an exclusion when:
The company is already a customer
The company is a competitor
The company is a vendor
The company is a partner
The company is not a fit
The company should not receive outreach
Your team has a strategic reason to avoid it
For example:
Keep your Knowledge Base current
Your Knowledge Base should evolve as your business grows. As Snowbricks enters new markets, tests new segments, learns which companies convert, or changes positioning, your team should continue fine-tuning ICPs, personas, and exclusions. A stale Knowledge Base creates noisy signals and weak campaigns. A sharp Knowledge Base helps 1eyeᴬᴵ keep improving target quality over time.
Best practices
Review the Knowledge Base before launching campaigns
Make sure the workspace info, ICPs, personas, and exclusions are accurate before engaging target contacts.Keep ICPs specific
Broad ICPs create noisy target lists. Specific ICPs help 1eyeᴬᴵ prioritize the right companies.Separate ICPs by market segment
If Snowbricks sells to B2B SaaS, data infrastructure companies, and enterprise sales teams, keep those as separate ICPs.Make personas role-specific
Avoid generic personas like “marketing” or “sales.” Use specific personas like Revenue Operations Leader, Head of Data, or VP Marketing.Use exclusions aggressively
Exclusions prevent wasted credits and low-quality outreach.Build lists from ICP and persona match
Use ICPs to source target companies and personas to source target contacts. This keeps lists focused and campaign-ready.Use signals to validate your strategy
Company signals should be evaluated against ICPs. Contact signals should be evaluated against personas. Use what you learn to improve the Knowledge Base.Update the Knowledge Base as your GTM motion changes
Add, edit, or remove ICPs and personas as you learn which segments convert.Check generated content for accuracy
1eyeᴬᴵ creates the initial Knowledge Base, but your team should review it before relying on it for campaigns.Align ICPs and personas
ICPs define the target companies. Personas define the target contacts inside those companies. Both need to work together.Use short names carefully
Short names make ICPs and personas easier to scan in lists, filters, and campaigns.Keep exclusions current
Add customers, competitors, partners, and strategic no-contact companies as your business changes.

Troubleshooting
ICPs look too broad
If 1eyeᴬᴵ creates ICPs that feel too broad, edit the descriptions to include more specific company types, industries, size ranges, use cases, and buying triggers.
Instead of:
Use:
Personas do not match your target contacts
If personas are missing important roles, add new personas manually.
For Snowbricks, you may want to add:
RevOps Leader
Head of Data
GTM Systems Leader
VP Sales
VP Marketing
AI Transformation Leader
Company signals are not matching ICPs correctly
If active companies are not being evaluated the way you expect, review your ICP descriptions.
Check whether your ICPs include:
Clear company types
Relevant industries
Company size ranges
Use cases
Buying triggers
Exclusions for poor-fit companies
Contact signals are not matching personas correctly
If active contacts are not being evaluated the way you expect, review your personas.
Check whether your personas include:
Relevant job titles
Function and department
Seniority
Buying role
Pain points
Use cases
Target lists are too noisy
If your target lists include too many poor-fit companies or contacts, tighten your ICPs, personas, and exclusions.
Noisy lists usually come from:
ICPs that are too broad
Personas that are too generic
Missing exclusions
Weak company description
Old workspace context
Exclusions are missing important companies
Add exclusions for:
Your own company
Existing customers
Competitors
Partners
Vendors
Companies your team should not contact
A company was excluded by mistake
Remove it from the Exclusions tab so 1eyeᴬᴵ can evaluate it as a possible target company.
Knowledge Base was generated from old website copy
Update the Workspace Info description and refine your ICPs and personas manually.
If your website changes, review the Knowledge Base again to make sure it still reflects your current positioning.
Campaigns are targeting the wrong companies
Check your ICPs and exclusions first.
Poor targeting usually comes from:
ICPs that are too broad
Personas that are too generic
Missing exclusions
Weak company description
Old workspace context
