SMS, Marketplace, or Gmail — send the lead to your HotMaybeJunk inbox.
Shop-floor judge
Forward the lead. Get Hot, Maybe, or Junk.

How it works
Forward → Report → Chase Hots
02
Report
Verdict, next action, reasons, notable NOULs. A judge, not a chat essay.
03
Chase Hots
Call the Hots. Park Maybes with one question. Skip Junk.
ChatGPT
A chat essay
Paste a lead, get a paragraph. Soft language. No stamp. You still decide if it's real work.
HotMaybeJunk
A judge. A report.
Hot / Maybe / Junk, dimension scores, code tags, next action. Built to call, park, or skip — not to reread.
The stamp
Three buckets. That's the product.
Hot
Ready to hire. Call now. Budget, urgency, and a real job are on the page.
Maybe
Needs one qualifying question — budget, size, or timing — before you roll a truck.
Junk
Spam, tire-kickers, or not a trades job. Don't waste the afternoon.
Agents
MCP grade_lead
A second door — not a replacement for inbox. Agents call grade_lead over stdio or POST /api/mcp and get the same report shops get in email. Same gradeLead core.
