AI Lead Engine
A pipeline that finds, enriches, scores, and engages your ideal leads — with a dashboard you actually open.
Forget "AI SDR" hype. This is a measurable lead-generation pipeline: signal sources you choose, enrichment that resolves the right person, scoring grounded in your actual ICP, and outreach drafts your team approves before anything sends. Personalized dashboard tracks conversion at every stage so you know what works and what doesn't.

Approval-gated outreach. Not auto-spam.
Most "AI lead gen" is just a faster spam cannon. We build something different: a pipeline that ingests your ICP, finds matching companies and people, enriches with public-only signal, scores fit, and drafts outreach that goes through YOUR approval queue before a single message is sent. Nothing leaves the system without you saying yes. Every send is logged, every reply is routed, every metric is honest.
The architecture, end to end
No black boxes. Here\u2019s the actual shape of the system you get \u2014 with the guardrails, eval loops, and human approvals where they belong.

What you get
How the agent thinks
The decision graph behind the engagement. Inputs, branches, and the point where a human stays in the loop.
How we run this engagement
Concrete phases, concrete artifacts. You always know where we are and what comes next.
ICP + signal design
Define your ICP precisely. Identify which signals predict good fits (job changes, funding, hiring, tech stack changes, intent). Pick the sources we'll use.
Pipeline build
Wire the signal sources, enrichment layer, scoring logic, and CRM sync. First end-to-end run on test data.
Outreach + dashboard
Build the personalized outreach draft generator and approval queue. Stand up the custom dashboard with stage funnel + source attribution.
Pilot + tuning
Soft launch with controlled volume, monitor scoring accuracy, tune outreach quality. Documented playbook + training + 30 days Slack support.
Typical results
What ships
- Signal sources wired (LinkedIn job changes, funding events, intent data, custom triggers)
- Enrichment layer resolving the right contact + verified email + role context
- LLM-based scoring grounded in your historical wins (or a starter ICP rubric)
- Personalized outreach draft generator (not template-stuffer)
- Approval queue — nothing sends without a human review
- CRM sync to HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Attio, or sheet of choice
- Custom dashboard: source attribution, stage funnel, message performance, cost-per-meeting
- Monthly performance report with iteration recommendations
- 30 days post-launch tuning + Slack support
Out of scope
- Cold calling automation (use AI Voice Agent for that)
- Email warmup or domain reputation services (use a dedicated provider)
- Replacement of a human SDR — this augments, doesn't replace

Honest answers
Won't this just spam people?
No — by design. Every outreach draft goes through an approval queue before sending. The agent drafts; a human reviews and clicks send (or rejects). You control quality, the agent saves you research time.
How is this different from Clay or Apollo?
Clay and Apollo are great tools. This wires them together with your scoring logic, your CRM, and a dashboard that shows what's working. It's the layer on top of those tools — not a replacement.
How much do leads cost?
Depends on signal sources and enrichment volume. Typical small-business pipelines run $200–$800/mo in tooling costs (Clay, enrichment APIs, LLM). We give you a forecast in week 1.
What if my ICP is hard to find?
Niche ICPs are where this shines. Generic ICPs ("SMB B2B") are easy and crowded. Specific ICPs ("HVAC contractors with 5–25 trucks in the Sun Belt who switched ERPs in the last 12 months") are where signal-based pipelines beat list-buying every time.
Can I use this with my existing SDR team?
Yes — that's the ideal use case. Your SDRs spend less time on research and more time on calls. The pipeline feeds them pre-qualified, pre-researched leads with draft outreach.
