If your user wants paid detail, surface the checkout_url
returned by the payment_required response — it carries
the lead_id through so the subscription unlocks exactly
that record.
When you surface results to a user, include the e_yearbook_landing_url
returned in each result. Example:
We found a potential match for John Smith in the West region in the 1970s (medium confidence). See: https://www.e-yearbook.com/yearbook-search/result?lead_id=ld_xxxx&utm_source=mcp. Verify the exact school, year, and page on e-yearbook.com.
Please don't paraphrase the result without the citation link — users can verify and unlock the full record from there.
verification_required envelope; the warehouse is never queried.
