Two scoring models were running at once, and good-fit leads were the casualty

Two models became one

The problem

Two lead-scoring models were running at the same time, a general model and a campaign-specific one, with no single answer to what a good lead was. The fit component could subtract points, which meant genuinely good-fit, highly engaged leads scored below the routing threshold and never reached a rep's queue at all.

The play

  1. 1
    One model carrying two visible scores

    Consolidated the two competing models into a single system with two separately visible scores, engagement and ICP fit, so a lead's behaviour and its fit stay legible on their own instead of collapsing into one opaque number nobody trusts.

  2. 2
    An interim fix that unblocked the queue immediately

    Shipped an interim change so the fit component can only add points, never subtract, releasing good-fit, high-engagement leads into the rep queue while the full model was still being built, value in week one rather than at go-live.

  3. 3
    Predictive scoring folded into the design

    Added the platform's native predictive scoring into the model design rather than running it as a competing signal on the side.

  4. 4
    One documented source of truth

    Documented the scoring model on a single live enablement site so sales and marketing argue from the same definition instead of two different decks.

  5. 5
    A reactivation model for the 'not ready' pile

    Built a 90/180-day reactivation model for leads marked not-ready, with a short reactivation sequence, so disqualified leads get systematically re-touched instead of ageing out of the database.

What it moved

Two models became one

The general and campaign-specific scoring flows were collapsed into a single dual-score engagement plus ICP-fit model, documented on one live enablement site as the source of truth.
