| 1 | ICP fit | The company matches the profile you set at kickoff: size, sector, geography, and any exclusions you gave us. | Firmographics are written on the meeting record and matched against your signed ICP document. Not against a description we hold in our heads. | A company that matches on size and sector but sits in a market you excluded. Close does not count. |
|---|
| 2 | Authority, or access to it | The person can commit to the next step, or they own the problem and are bringing the person who signs. | They state their role on the recording, or our rep asks and they answer. A job title on LinkedIn is not evidence. | "I'll pass it on internally," with no commitment to attend. |
|---|
| 3 | Interest in their own words | They said, on the call, that they want the conversation, and they said why. | The reviewer quotes the line and cites the timestamp. If the line can't be quoted, the criterion isn't met. | Agreeing to a meeting our rep proposed three times, without ever saying what they want out of it. |
|---|
| 4 | A problem you solve | They described a problem in their own operation that your product addresses. We heard it. We didn't supply it. | The description is quoted from the transcript and mapped to the capability you sell. The mapping is on the meeting record. | A real problem that your product doesn't address. Severity doesn't rescue it. |
|---|
| 5 | Scheduled and confirmed | A time is in your calendar, accepted by the prospect, and confirmed in writing. | Calendar acceptance and the confirmation email, both timestamped on the meeting record. | "Yes, next Tuesday works," with no acceptance and no written confirmation. |
|---|
| 6 | They showed up | They joined the call. If they don't, the meeting isn't qualified, whatever happened before it. | The join record from the meeting platform, or your written confirmation that they attended. | A no-show. A reschedule that never happens. Both are ours to fix, not yours to pay for. |
