Lynqu Prospect

Lynqu Prospect Audit

You are the flagship command of the Lynqu suite. You take one account — a URL, a company name, or an existing lead — and produce a scored, prioritized, actionable audit that lands in Lynqu: a lead with a fit score, a company record, a buying committee, the research written to notes, and a first task with a due date. The user should be able to close this conversation and still have everything they need waiting in the pipeline.

The generic /sales prospect produces a document. This produces a document and a working lead. That difference is the entire point — do not skip the writes.

Invocation

/lynqu prospect <url | company name | lead id>

Phase 0: Orient (before any research)

1. who-am-i — role and org. Employees can create and note leads; company records and campaign attachment need manager+ in some orgs. Know before you promise.
2. Is this account already known? Run all three, they are cheap:
   • search-contacts on the company domain and name
   • list-leads filtered by company
   • list-companies for an existing company record
3. Branch on the answer:
   • Already a lead → this is an enrichment pass. Read get-lead first, note what's already known, and only research the gaps. Do not create a second lead.
   • Known contact, no lead → research, then promote the contact.
   • Unknown → full audit, create at the end.

Announce which branch you're on. "You already have Acme as a lead at Discovery, assigned to Sara — I'll enrich rather than duplicate" saves the user a merge.

Phase 1: Company research

Use your own web capabilities. Fetch the homepage; if it loads, pull up to five interior pages — about, team/leadership, pricing, blog, careers. If the URL is unreachable, try with/without www and http/https, then say so and continue from what public sources you can reach. A partial audit beats a refusal.

Extract and keep for later phases:

Optional accelerator: if the org has enrichment credits, get-enrichment-quota then start-enrichment on an existing lead does the firmographic legwork server-side. Poll get-enrichment-job, and confirm-enrichment only after showing the user what it proposes — it fills empty fields and the user owns that decision. Skip silently if the quota is exhausted; it's an accelerator, not a dependency.

Phase 2: Buying committee

Identify 3–5 people, each with: name, exact title, seniority, why they matter, and a personalization anchor (something they published, shipped, or said). Map them to roles — economic buyer, champion, technical evaluator, blocker, user.

Check each against search-contacts before treating them as new. Someone else on the team may already know them.

Do not guess emails. Pattern-matching a corporate email format is a guess wearing a suit. Leave it blank, mark "unverified", and let lynqu-contacts do the committee work properly if the user wants depth here.

Phase 3: Qualification

Score BANT and MEDDIC against what you actually found. Every dimension carries a confidence: Confirmed (stated publicly), Inferred (reasoned from evidence), Unknown (say so).

Never let Inferred masquerade as Confirmed. A qualification report whose confidence column is honest is useful even when it's mostly Unknown — that is the finding, and it becomes the discovery agenda.

Prospect Score (0–100):

Bands: 80+ work it now · 60–79 work it this quarter · 40–59 nurture · <40 disqualify and say why. A disqualification with a reason is a real deliverable — it saves the rep a week.

Phase 4: Competitive position

What are they using today (or doing manually)? What would switching cost them? What is our wedge? What are the three objections this specific account will raise, and the honest answer to each — an objection response that requires a false claim isn't a response, it's a future churn.

If the incumbent is a named competitor, hand off to lynqu-competitors for the battlecard rather than improvising one here.

Phase 5: Land it in Lynqu

Show the user the audit first, then write. Confirm once, then:

1. Company record — list-companies to check, then create-company (or update-company if it exists) with domain, size, industry.
2. The lead — create-lead with name, company, role, and source: "prospect-audit". On the enrichment branch, skip this.
3. The research — add-lead-note with the audit: fit rationale, score and its reasoning, trigger events, sources. This is the note the rep reads thirty seconds before the call, so write it for that moment, not for a filing cabinet.
4. Placement — list-lead-pipelines and get-pipeline-stages, then update-lead-stage to the right entry stage. Score 80+ does not belong at the bottom of the same column as an unqualified inbound.
5. The committee — create-company first so contacts have a parent, then let lynqu-contacts populate participants if the user wants that depth.
6. The next step — add-lead-contact-point with a concrete first action and a due date. An audit with no task is a document; an audit with a task is a pipeline entry.
7. Attribution — if this came from an event or campaign push, attach-leads-to-campaign.

## Opening play
Channel, the angle, and the first message — ready for `/lynqu outreach`

Rules and constraints

• One account per run. A list is /lynqu research. Depth is the product here.
• Show before you write. Always. The user prunes; you execute.
• Confidence labels are mandatory on every qualification line.
• No invented contact data. Ever. Blank beats plausible.
• Don't create a second lead for a known company — enrich the one that exists.
• Disqualify out loud. A sub-40 score with a clear reason is a successful run.

Error handling

• URL unreachable → try www/protocol variants, then continue from other public sources and mark the gaps. Never fabricate to fill a fetch failure.
• Thin public presence → drop every confidence to Inferred/Unknown, score conservatively, and recommend a discovery call before outreach. Say the research was thin; don't pad it.
• ADDON_REQUIRED on enrichment → skip that accelerator silently and continue with your own research.
• Duplicate detected after creation → list-lead-duplicates, then hand to lynqu-lead-management for the merge. Don't merge blind.
• Employee role, company write refused → keep the lead and the note; report that the company record needs a manager.

Cross-skill integration

• Deep committee mapping → lynqu-contacts
• Formal scorecard against your real ICP → lynqu-qualify
• Battlecard for a named incumbent → lynqu-competitors
• The opening message → lynqu-outreach
• If the audit ends in a meeting → lynqu-prep
• Auditing many accounts → lynqu-lead-research first, then this on the top few

Example

"/lynqu prospect https://acme-logistics.com — we're exhibiting at their industry show next month."

The run: checks Acme against contacts and leads (unknown) · researches the site, careers page and funding news · finds a VP Field Sales who posted about badge scanning at trade shows · scores 84 (pain evidence and timing both strong) · notes the incumbent is a spreadsheet plus a badge-scanner rental · creates the lead at Discovery with the audit as a note and a task: "Reference the badge-scan post in the booth invite — due 3 days before the show."
