From the long list to the memo

A memo is only as strong as what you can open behind it.

Set the criteria before the screen runs. myRA records the reason behind each score and connects the memo to its sources, so your team can challenge the case without rebuilding the research.
THE LONG LISTTwo hundred names that fit the brief.CIMs, a database pull, and the names youalready know.
