For founders & sales-led teams drowning in inbound

Score every inbound lead.Work the right ones first.

Most teams pass every lead to sales and reps burn hours on the ones that were never going to buy. This Engine grades each lead PURSUE NOW, NURTURE, or DISQUALIFY on fit, intent, and timeline — from your own marks, with a hard gate that holds back a great-looking lead that has no budget and no timeline.

01.The Problem

Reps spend most of their hours on leads that were never going to buy.

27%

of leads passed to sales are actually qualified — yet most teams pass all of them.

~70%

of sales hours go to leads that never had a real shot at closing.

more meaningful conversations when the right leads are reached first, not buried.

The fix is not more leads — it is a verdict on the ones you have. The figures above are widely reported industry ranges, not a promise about your pipeline.

PURSUE NOW

Priority only — not permission to contact. Confirm consent before outreach; run a compliance gate for dormant or cold lists. The full engine scores a whole CRM export and rolls up a routing summary.

03.The Engine

One command scores a whole list and names the lead to work first.

The runnable Python engine reads a CSV export, scores every lead, applies the gate, and rolls up a routing summary. Here is its real output on the included eight-lead sample — note the two high-scoring leads the gate holds at NURTURE, and the one it caps at DISQUALIFY:

================================================================
  INBOUND LEAD QUALIFICATION ENGINE
  Priority verdict from your own marks. Not consent to contact.

  Model: 0-5 marks x weights (Fit / ICP match 30 / Intent / behavioral signal 25 / Timeline 20 / Authority / budget reach 15 / Engagement recency 10) -> 0-100

04.The Standard

A named, weighted model you can read — and a gate you can't game.

Your marks, no multiplier

The score is your five 0–5 marks times weights that sum to 100. There is no industry average and no hidden lift estimate. Change a mark, the score moves — and you can change the weights.

The gate holds and releases

No budget authority or no timeline caps a lead below PURSUE NOW, however high it scores; both missing caps it at DISQUALIFY. Fix those two and a strong lead clears cleanly. It can't be gamed by a high fit score alone.

Priority, never permission

The Engine ranks who to work first. It never tells you a lead is safe to contact — that is a consent question it deliberately hands to a compliance gate.

The model — five signals, weights sum to 100
Fit / ICP matchw30

Industry, size, and geography against your ideal customer.

Intent / behavioral signalw25

Pricing-page visits, a demo request, repeat engagement.

Timelinew20

Deciding in the next 30–90 days, or someday.

Authority / budget reachw15

Reaching a decision-maker who can fund it.

Engagement recencyw10

Acted this week, or went quiet months ago.

PURSUE NOW ≥ 70 · NURTURE 45–69 · DISQUALIFY < 45 · gate: no authority OR no timeline → not PURSUE NOW

05.What This Is — And Isn't

A priority engine for your own leads. Not a contact list, not a database.

What it is
  • A deterministic scorer for leads you already have, from your own marks.
  • A runnable engine + a workbook that reproduces every number, offline.
  • A gate that stops a no-budget, no-timeline lead from looking ready.
  • A routing summary that names the single lead to work first.
What it isn't
  • Not a contact database or an email finder — you bring your own leads.
  • Not permission to contact anyone, and not a consent or compliance check.
  • Not a black-box AI score — the model and the gate are fully readable.
  • Not a guarantee of conversion; it ranks priority, you still sell.

Priority, not permission. A PURSUE NOW verdict means a lead is worth your time — it does not mean the lead has consented to be contacted or that cold outreach is lawful. Confirm consent before you email, call, or text, and for dormant or cold lists run a compliance gate first with the Database Reactivation Readiness Engine. This is general guidance, not legal advice.

06.Who It's For

Anyone with more inbound than time to work it.

Built for
  • Founders and small sales teams triaging a steady inbound flow.
  • Agencies and service businesses qualifying form-fills and demo requests.
  • Operators who want a defensible, repeatable rule instead of gut feel.
  • Anyone tired of reps chasing leads that can't say yes.
Not for
  • Teams looking to buy a contact list — this scores leads, it doesn't source them.
  • Anyone wanting a legal green light to cold-contact — that's a separate gate.
  • Hiring or tenant screening — this scores sales leads, not people in protected domains.
08.Common Questions

Straight answers on scoring, the gate, and what this won't do.

No. It ranks priority — who to work first — not permission to contact. A PURSUE NOW means a lead is worth your reps' time, not that it is legally safe to cold-email or text. Confirm consent before any outreach, and for dormant or cold lists run a compliance gate first (the Database Reactivation Readiness Engine). This is guidance, not legal advice.
