1 Fit Scoring (Who They Are)

Properties set on the contact or company record — from form submissions, enrichment, imports, or manual entry.

1.1 Job Title / Role (+3 to +20)

The buyer for EAP and workplace wellbeing services is typically HR, WHS, or executive leadership.

1.2 Company Size — Employee Count (+5 to +25)

EAP is typically priced per-employee. Larger organisations = larger contract value and stronger fit.

500–999+20Large — strong fit
200–499+15Mid-market — core sweet spot
50–199+10Small-medium — solid prospect

4–190Micro — unlikely to have EAP budget
1–3-50Too small for EAP — likely individual or sole trader

1.3 Industry (+5 to +20)

Higher-risk industries are more likely to need EAP, psychosocial risk management, and incident response.

IndustryScoreRationale

1.4 Geography (+0 to +10)

Converge operates in Australia only.

4 Score Decay

Scores must decay over time to prevent stale leads sitting at inflated scores. Without decay, a lead who was active 6 months ago looks the same as one active today.
