Qualify an enquiry against delivery constraints

Decide between ready-to-scope, needs clarification and outside the offered work.

Separate unknowns from confirmed mismatches

Synthetic service scope accepts remote setup tasks and requires a named customer coordinator plus an agreed data sample. Enquiry E-21 has a coordinator but no sample. E-22 requires onsite hardware repair, outside this fixture’s scope. E-23 meets both inputs. Do not invent a budget or convert missing evidence into a negative lead score: each case needs a different next action.

Route by the unresolved decision

  1. Extract requested outcome
  2. Compare offered work
  3. Check required scoping inputs
  4. Assign the appropriate next action

A customer asking for two different outcomes needs separate scope checks before the entire enquiry is rejected.

E-21 provides the sample tomorrow. Must it become accepted work?

Show the worked answer

No. It becomes ready for scope discussion under the fixture. A quotation and customer decision remain separate.

The required inputs are synthetic, not universal sales criteria. Qualification does not establish an order or promise a delivery date.
