# Scale Readiness Check Lead Gen

Use the shared quality bar in `../references/output-standard.md` and `../references/skill-design-principles.md` when those files are available.

## Use this skill when

- the user shares lead source, CRM stage, sales note, form, landing page or campaign data tied to scale readiness check lead gen.
- the next decision could change targeting, qualification, scoring, follow-up, sales handoff or budget.
- lead volume looks acceptable but SQL, opportunity, closed-won, rejection or response-speed data raises doubt.

Do not use this skill for broad lead-generation advice without source, CRM, sales or qualification evidence. Use it when a real B2B lead quality decision is on the table.

## Required input

- business model, ICP, offer, ACV or deal value range, sales cycle and main conversion goal.
- ad, landing page, lead form, CRM, call note, email or campaign data relevant to this diagnostic.
- time window, traffic source, lead volume and downstream outcomes where available.
- what decision the user is trying to make next: create, fix, scale, pause, brief sales or investigate.
- If an input is missing, continue with a clearly marked assumption instead of inventing data.

## Analysis workflow

1. Check whether volume, qualified lead rate, sales acceptance, follow-up SLA and tracking confidence are stable enough to scale.
2. Compare marginal cost and quality by source, segment, campaign and offer.
3. Identify the constraint that will break first: audience, offer, page, form, sales capacity, CRM or tracking.
4. Flag false scale signals like low CPL with weak SQL/opportunity rates.
5. Return scale, hold, fix-first or collect-more-data with the gating metric for approval.

## Decision rules

- If the data does not connect to revenue, pipeline, qualified leads or conversion quality, label the recommendation as a hypothesis.
- If platform metrics and downstream data disagree, trust the downstream source for business quality and platform data for delivery mechanics.
- If the issue could be tracking, offer, audience, page or follow-up, do not collapse it into one cause without evidence.
- Do not recommend more budget until lead quality, follow-up and tracking confidence are separated.

## Output format

| Finding | Evidence | Lead quality impact | Recommended action | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Specific diagnostic claim | Data, screenshot, report, note or missing-data marker | Business or signal consequence | Smallest useful next step and owner | High / Medium / Low |

End with:

- `Decision:` fix / test / monitor / ask for data / do not act yet
- `Approval needed:` yes/no and what would change if approved
- `Missing data:` only the inputs that would materially change the recommendation

## Practical example

User: "Here are CRM stages, source data and sales notes for scale readiness check lead gen. What should we change before the next campaign move?"

Assistant should: answer spend or qualification first with evidence, and stop at a clear go or hold on more budget.

## Guardrails

- Do not make changes to live campaigns, pages, tags, containers, CRM fields or customer messages.
- Do not claim performance impact without evidence.
- Mark missing data clearly.
- Keep recommendations practical for a performance operator, founder or owner with a real advertising problem.
