The Workbench finalize step (and the extract canonical action) produces a structured canonical_json object alongside the Markdown ICP. The pipeline (computeIcpSegment, computeCoverageLabels, discovery prompt builder) reads this structured shape — not the Markdown. Edits made directly via the View JSON path must conform to this schema or downstream segment-matching breaks silently.

segments[]

Per-segment fields. name (string), gics_anchor (GICS sub-industry name), include_business_types (array, see below), scope_gates (object, see below), firmographics.scale_gates (prose echo), firmographics.priority_geographies.{tier1,tier2,tier3} (ISO country code arrays), technographics.{positive_signals,negative_signals}, pain_points, buying_readiness_signals, tiering.{T1,T2} (plain-language rules).

include_business_types

Constrained enumeration. Each entry must match exactly a value in VALID_BUSINESS_TYPES (the canonical taxonomy — see functions/src/prompts/evidencePrompt.ts). Non-canonical entries are dropped at finalize with a warning log; they will not contribute to segment matching. Use the closest canonical (e.g. payment processor → Payment Institution, neobank → Neobank / Challenger Bank).

scope_gates

Structured numeric thresholds (object form — preferred). Any subset of: min_employees, max_employees, min_assets_b (BILLIONS USD), max_total_assets_usd_b, min_aum_m (MILLIONS USD), max_aum_usd_m, max_annual_revenue_usd_m, max_jurisdiction_count, min_arr_usd_m (SaaS), max_arr_usd_m. Omit keys the ICP does not specify — do not include null or zero placeholders. EXCEPTION: for G-SIB / D-SIB targeting segments, emit scope_gates as an array of strings like ["G-SIB", "D-SIB"] instead — this triggers SIB-routing in the pipeline.

shared_exclusions

Top-level absolute filters. absolute_types (array of business types or labels), absolute_named (specific company names), absolute_domains (domain names like citigroup.com), soft_exclusions (advisory). absolute_domains are enforced at the worker level (BL-51); absolute_types goes into the Gemini discovery prompt as "EXCLUDED TYPES (never return)". For tenants that explicitly want G-SIBs and D-SIBs out of all bank segments, include the markers "G-SIB", "D-SIB" or "tier1_global_bank" here — the pipeline's SIB bank-anchor fallback (see S105 ITEM 4.5) opts out when those are present.

shared_geographies

Tenant-wide geo filters. excluded (array of ISO country codes) drops prospects in those jurisdictions before segment matching.
