What counts as a real conversation: a decision-maker on the line, a genuine two-way exchange, not a hello or an instant not-interested click, usable intel even on a decline, and over 60 seconds. Gatekeepers, voicemails, and phone trees never count, and every conversation is checked against its own recording before it's added here.
