Lead Capture QA Gate

A practical example

Example: before a chatbot lead form goes live, the reviewer submits a test lead and finds the company name mapping to the phone field; the mapping is corrected before a single real lead is misfiled.

What to evaluate before investing

• Ask whether the gate requires a live test submission traced through mapping, routing, and CRM arrival—not just a visual form check.
• Confirm the checklist verifies spam protection behavior with both a bot-like submission and a legitimate one.
• Check that sign-off names a reviewer and date, so a capture failure after launch has a traceable approval record.

Limitations and tradeoffs

The gate validates the moment of launch; CRM schema changes, form edits, or routing updates afterward can silently break mappings, so schedule re-verification whenever either side changes.
