# Task
Using the apollo CLI (Apollo), run a small B2B prospecting workflow:

1. Run TWO related lookups to build a prospect picture:
   a. Find companies in the "software" / SaaS industry with roughly 200-1000 employees
   b. Find people associated with companies in that same segment, ideally in senior engineering leadership roles (for example "VP of Engineering" or "Head of Engineering")
   Use whichever commands the CLI actually exposes and your credentials are authorized for — a people search, a contact search, or an employees-at-company lookup are all acceptable for step (b). If one command returns a 403 or an authorization/scope error, do not stop: fall back to the nearest available equivalent and note which one you used.
2. Merge the records from both lookups, deduplicate by a stable identifier (person/company ID, or email or company domain if no ID is available), and rank them to select the top 5 most relevant prospects
3. If the CLI supports an enrich or record-detail command, use it on the single top-ranked prospect to retrieve fuller detail than the list lookup returned
4. Format the output as JSON with two keys:
   - "results": the top 5 deduplicated prospects, each with a "name" (or title) and an "id", "url", or "domain"
   - "enriched": the fetched detail of the top prospect, including its "name" (or title) and "id"

Use the CLI directly, not Python SDK calls.
Do not send emails, enroll anyone in a sequence, or perform any other outreach action — this is a read-only research workflow.

You MUST use the `apollo` CLI to accomplish this task.
Do NOT write Python scripts that import the SDK — use CLI commands via the terminal.

If you need help with CLI commands, check the documentation: https://docs.apollo.io/docs/apollo-cli-overview
You can also use `apollo --help` and `apollo <command> --help` to discover available commands.

## Setup
You need to install and authenticate the `apollo` CLI yourself.

### Installation
Run: `curl -fsSL -o /usr/local/bin/apollo https://github.com/apolloio/apollo-io-cli/releases/la*****/download/apollo-linux-x64`
Run: `chmod +x /usr/local/bin/apollo`

### Authentication
Run: `apollo auth login`

## Execution
1. Install the `apollo` CLI using the command above
2. Verify the installation: `apollo --help`
3. Authenticate using the credentials above
4. Perform the task described above

Work in the /home/daytona/app directory. Run commands and print output to stdout.
If there are errors, debug and fix them until the task runs successfully.

## Summary
When you are done, write a JSON summary file to /home/daytona/app/results.json with this structure:
{
  "operations": [
    {"step": 1, "description": "What you did", "command": "the CLI command", "success": true/false, "output_summary": "brief result"},
    ...
  ],
  "overall_success": true/false,
  "notes": ["any relevant notes about the execution"]
}
