The Gemini agent evaluates every submission against a 100-point scoring rubric. Points are allocated by proven conversion signal strength — not arbitrary weighting.
| Factor | Points | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Decision Maker Title | 25 | Title is the strongest predictor of buying authority. A CEO or Founder can sign. A coordinator cannot. |
| Budget Mentioned or Confirmed | 20 | Explicit budget signals reduce sales cycle length by ~40%. A lead that mentions budget is twice as likely to convert. |
| Urgent or Defined Timeline | 15 | A specific deadline indicates a buying event in motion, not casual exploration. |
| Professional Email Domain | 15 | Company domain email confirms a verified business context. Gmail or Yahoo addresses indicate a higher proportion of unqualified submissions. |
| Specific Use Case Described | 15 | A lead that describes their exact problem has already done the work of qualifying themselves. |
| Company Size Signal | 10 | Mentions of team size or headcount help route the lead to the appropriate response tier and pricing conversation. |
| Total | 100 |
The Slack notification is an interruption. Every false positive — a medium-intent lead that triggers a founder ping — erodes trust in the system. The threshold must be high enough that every notification feels urgent and worth acting on.
Tested against 20+ submissions before locking at 80. Tighter than a typical screening threshold because the cost of a wrong notification in a sales context is higher than a wrong flag in a screening context.
