J0E1W1Q: Credit utilization
Correct me if I am wrong.
1. After I run a search and found my target audience, I utilize one contact credit to unlock the email address.
2. To validate this email address, I consume one email verification
3. If I wish to send an email through AroundDeal, that would be under the "Unlimited email sends" category
4. If I want to export this contact, I use one export credit to export the information of this target in CSV.
So in this process, I will draw down on one of each category of credit, other than the "Unlimited email sends". Is my assumption correct?

The understanding is mostly correct, with two clarifications:
Email verification: all contacts provided by the platform are already verified, so additional verification is generally unnecessary; the verifier is best used for validating the user’s own external lists.
Sending emails: sending through Engagement falls under unlimited sends; actual throughput is governed by the connected email service’s limits and reputation controls.
Putting it together for the described flow: one contact credit to unlock, zero verifier credits needed for platform‑provided contacts, unlimited sending subject to the mailbox provider’s limits, and one export credit if exporting to CSV.
