What does a score of 5 mean?

How the 1–5 scale is built from quantities, item numbers and how directly the item names your product.

Updated October 20261 min readBy the LeadSifter team, LTC Software Solutions

A 5 means the schedule of items names your product, in real quantity, by a DOT item number you've told us about. It's the lead somebody should call on today.

How the scale works

Every project is scored from 1 to 5 based on how much of your product it calls for and how directly the line item names it.

Score Label What it means
5 Excellent Your product, by DOT item number, in quantity
4 Good A strong match with less volume or a less direct item
3 Moderate A real line item, but small relative to the job, or a close cousin of what you sell

1s and 2s don't get sent. They'd waste your morning.

Why every score comes with a reason

Each lead has a line that quotes the items and quantities LeadSifter found, straight from the schedule of items. That line is what your estimator reads first, and it's how you check a score in a few seconds. A 3 says it's a 3 and shows you why.
