  "notes": "DISAMBIGUATION FLAG - do not confuse with Champify (champify.io), a different company covered in 05-signals-intent-abm.md that tracks job changes of past customers/champions moving to NEW companies. Champion (championhq.com) instead scores and activates champions WITHIN existing customer accounts for references, case studies, and expansion - a distinct product shape despite the near-identical name and adjacent positioning. Several plausible domains for a \"Champion\" tool were checked and ruled out during this research: champion.io (redirects to an unrelated personal site), trychampion.com (parked/domain-marketplace listing), and champion.app (parked for sale on GoDaddy) - championhq.com is the verified, live, correct domain. [api_gate 2026-08-25] Re-checked and left unknown, honestly: the Pricing nav item is a dead hash link with no destination, championhq.com/pricing returns 404, and no API or developer docs are referenced anywhere on the site. Checked against https://championhq.com/pricing. 2026-09-02: re-checked championhq.com (no llms.txt; /pricing still 404), the official MCP registry (no entry) and a web search; no MCP server found.",
