Discovery only surfaces leads whose score clears your threshold. It's the main quality dial you control per run.
How it works
Each run has a threshold (default 60, adjustable from 0 to 100). Scored candidates at or above it are ranked and the best ones — up to your target count — become suggestions. Everyone else is kept visible as data, never silently discarded.
Reading the run funnel
Every run shows its funnel: how many profiles were found, deduplicated, dropped by your "Don't target" exclusions, filtered by location, scored, enriched, and finally suggested. Two parts are worth a look when results feel off:
- Near misses — the strongest candidates that didn't clear the bar, with their scores and stage. If they look good to you, your threshold may be too strict or your ICP too narrow.
- Exclusion count — how many candidates your negative filter removed, with examples of what matched.
Choosing a threshold
Higher thresholds mean fewer, better leads; lower means more volume with more noise. Three practical rules:
- Start at the default and read the reasoning on a run's suggestions — adjust based on what you see, not on the number alone.
- If a run returns very few leads, check the near misses before lowering the bar: sometimes the fix is a broader ICP, not a lower standard.
- Remember the score is fit only — timing ("why now") is a separate signal shown on the lead, so a 75 with a hot timing signal can be more valuable than a cold 85.
