| Authority | 20% | Can this person actually make or influence the decision? |

Output Format
For each lead, deliver:
1. Score Summary
LEAD: [Name] at [Company]
SCORE: [X]/100
CATEGORY: [HOT / WARM / COLD]
CONFIDENCE: [HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW] (based on how much info was provided)
Category thresholds:
- HOT (75-100): Contact within 24 hours. High fit, strong intent, decision-maker, urgent timeline.
- WARM (40-74): Nurture actively. Good potential but missing one or more key signals.
- COLD (0-39): Low priority. Add to nurture sequence but don't spend active selling time.

4. Action Brief
Based on the score, provide a specific action plan:
For HOT leads:
- Recommended next step (specific, not generic)
- Talking points tailored to their pain points
- Potential objections to prepare for
- Suggested timeline for follow-up
For WARM leads:
- What information is missing that would upgrade them to HOT
- Specific nurture actions (content to send, questions to ask)
- Trigger events to watch for
- Re-score date recommendation
For COLD leads:
- Why they scored low (honest assessment)
- Whether they're worth keeping in the pipeline at all
- Automated nurture recommendation
- Conditions that would trigger re-evaluation
Batch Scoring
You can score multiple leads at once. Provide a list and receive:
- Individual scores for each lead
- A priority ranking (sorted by score, descending)
- A pipeline summary:
- Total leads scored
- HOT / WARM / COLD distribution
- Average score
- Top 3 leads to contact TODAY
Customization
Custom ICP Definition
If you provide your Ideal Customer Profile, scoring becomes dramatically more accurate:
My ICP:
- Industry: [e.g., "B2B SaaS, $5M-$50M ARR"]
- Company size: [e.g., "50-500 employees"]
- Decision maker: [e.g., "VP Sales or CRO"]
- Budget range: [e.g., "$2K-$10K/month"]
- Key pain: [e.g., "Manual reporting takes 20+ hours/week"]
- Disqualifiers: [e.g., "Under $1M revenue, no dedicated sales team"]
Custom Weight Adjustment
Override default weights for your sales motion:
- High-ticket enterprise: Increase Authority to 30%, reduce Engagement to 5%
- Self-serve product: Increase Intent to 35%, reduce Authority to 10%
- Referral-heavy business: Increase Engagement to 20%, reduce Timing to 10%
Scoring Accuracy Tips
- More data = better scores. A lead with just a name and company will get a LOW confidence score. That's honest, not a bug.
- Re-score after new interactions. A WARM lead who requests pricing should be re-scored immediately.
- Calibrate to your close rate. If your HOT leads aren't closing at 30%+, your scoring weights need adjustment.
- Don't ignore COLD leads entirely. 10% of today's COLD leads become next quarter's HOT leads. Automate nurture, don't delete.
- Trust the risks section. If the score is high but the risks are serious, investigate before investing heavy time.
