Key design principles for automated discovery:

Follow the sun: Sendim outreach nao long business hours long recipient's timezone. Wan pitch we i land long 3 AM i siganal spam.

Quality over quantity: Betta blong analyze 100 domains guttaem dan scan 10,000 superficially. Personalized outreach wetem real findings i konvert 10x betta dan generic mass emails.

Respect opt-outs: Wan-click unsubscribe, immediate suppression, no contact again. Dis no blong ethics nomo — i mekem deliverability protect.

Capacity limits: Set max pool sizes. Faenem 1 million domains i no minit if yu no save folow up long olketa. Auto-pause discovery taem outreach capacity i reached.

Member-aware routing: Sapos yu faenem wan existing kastom domain, no sendim wan cold pitch. Route long contextual communication (upgrade suggestions, account management).

The Smart Lead Classifier:

Automated classification (<1ms, no AI needed) i categorizes evri discovered domain:

| Category | Signals | Product Fit | |----------|---------|-------------| | E-commerce | Product schema, cart, checkout pages | Shop SEO tools | | Local business | Address, phone, map embed, LocalBusiness schema | Local SEO services | | Agency | Portfolio page, "our clients," multiple case studies | Wholesale/partner | | SaaS/Tech | Pricing page, documentation, app subdomain | Technical SEO tools | | Media/Blog | High article count, RSS feed, author pages | Content SEO | | Hospitality | Booking widget, room listings, tripadvisor | QR/event tools | | Wedding venue | Wedding keywords, event calendar, gallery | Wedding platforms |

Dis classification i determine wanem product blong pitch, wanem messaging blong yusum, mo wanem team member i mas handlem dis lead.

Quick win: Statim simple. Pickim wan discovery source (ex: niufala SSL certificates for .dk domains). Ranem wan content check blong filter parking pages. Scanem ol survivors. Sortim long score. Emailim ol bottom 10 wetem olketa specific findings. Dis manual version i plante teachim yu long pipeline bifo yu automate.
