An independent professional with no inbound channel and a saturated outbound calendar. Talented at the work, bottlenecked on prospecting.

He arrived with a clean ask: 'I need a lead engine.' Outbound was cold and contextless, the half-built spreadsheet CRM was going nowhere, and the time spent hunting was time not earning. We didn't need to surface friction — we needed to scope the build.

A private prospecting app: pull from public sources, enrich with context, score for fit, draft a personalisable first message. Single-operator tool, no team workflow, no enterprise scaffolding. One person, one channel, one button.

Private app live with the public-source pipeline running. Prospects scored on the way in. Drafts arriving in a queue, ready to personalise and send. A lead channel that genuinely didn't exist before — and that he could now run in twenty minutes a day.
