+Category B - Advancement to a Next Step
+The company wants to move forward. This includes, for example:
+
+1. Invitations to schedule a phone screen or interview
+2. Requests to complete an assessment or assignment
+3. Requests for additional information or documents, from a human.  This item is a bit more fine grained than others, because it does not include, i.e. automated requests to provide EEOC demographic information, verify identity, create an account password, etc.  An important factor here is automated messaging versus a "human in the loop" on the company side seeking to connect. Use your judgment. Do not stop the process to ask questions about any emails. Rather, when in doubt, err on the side of inclusion and move on. 
+4. Emails seeking to schedule a "second round", "third round" interview, further discussion or screening.
+5. Emails that state that I missed a prior email, appointment or request *and* come from a human, not automation.  Again, when in doubt err on the side of inclusion.
+6. If an email both acknowledges receipt AND requests action, classify it as B.
