Prospecting

Score leads before you send a single email

Upload any prospect list. AI scores each lead against your ideal customer profile. Focus on the top 20% — better reply rates, fewer burned domains.

What you provide

Prospect list + ICP description

e.g. prospect_list.csv + "Series A–C SaaS companies in EMEA with 50–500 employees"

What you get

Scored list with ICP fit %, rationale, and recommended action

✓ From 500 prospects → 97 high-priority targets (top 20%)

Why people use this

The list is public. Getting it out is the problem.

Nothing here is secret. It is published, on purpose, so people can find it. What it is not is usable: it is spread across hundreds of pages, and it names companies rather than people you can write to.

By hand

  1. 1Read every row and form an opinion
  2. 2Argue about what counts as a good fit
  3. 3Sort by something proxy like headcount
  4. 4Email the whole list anyway because cutting it feels wasteful

An afternoon, and no two people agree

and nobody can say why a row scored what it scored

With Lead Scoring

  1. 1Upload your prospect list and describe your ICP. Paste your list and describe your ideal customer: industry, company size, stage, geography, tech stack, or behavioral signals like recent hiring or funding.
  2. 2AI scores each prospect. Kuration evaluates every lead against your ICP, assigns a fit percentage, explains the rationale, and flags relevant signals (hiring, funding, product news).
  3. 3Focus on your top 20%. Filter to high-score leads, export a prioritized list, and route directly to your SDR team. Less spray-and-pray, more precision.

From 500 prospects → 97 high-priority targets (top 20%)

and every row arrives with a named person and a verified address

The playbook

How to get the most out of Lead Scoring

Specific, tactical ways teams run this template on Kuration — not just what it does, but how to win with it.

1

Describe your ICP in plain English

Industry, size, stage, geography, and the signals that matter. No rigid filter menus, just tell Kuration what a good customer actually looks like for you.

2

Weight the signals that predict deals

Tell it to value active hiring or a fresh raise over raw headcount, so a fast-growing company shows up even when a static size filter would have hidden it.

3

Work the top 20% first

Filter to the high scores and route them to your SDRs. Fewer sends, better reply rates, and far fewer domains burned on prospects who were never a fit.

4

Score any list, from anywhere

Run it on a Kuration output or an imported CSV. It is the final step that turns a raw list into a priority order your team can work top to bottom.

Frequently asked questions

What signals does the scoring use?
ICP scoring uses firmographic signals (size, industry, geography, stage) plus behavioral signals (hiring patterns, recent funding, product signals from job posts). You can customize which signals matter most.
Can I customize the scoring criteria?
Yes. Describe your ICP in plain English, or provide a weighted scoring rubric. Kuration adapts to your specific criteria.
How is this different from Apollo's filters?
Apollo filters are static — headcount range, industry, title. Kuration's AI scoring reads context: a company hiring 5 SDRs signals active growth in a way a headcount filter can't.
Can I score a list I extracted from another template?
Yes. Lead scoring works on any Kuration output or imported list. It's designed to be the final step in any research workflow.
