MeshLine
A practical example
Example: a contact earns 10 points for a target-industry job title, 5 for each pricing-page visit, and loses points for unsubscribing; contacts above 60 points enter the sales review queue.
What to evaluate before investing
- Ask whether scoring supports decay over time, so a contact who engaged heavily last year does not stay hot indefinitely.
- Check if you can maintain separate scores for different products or buying motions, rather than one blended number.
- Request a sandbox test: change a scoring rule and confirm the change propagates to segments, workflows, and CRM sync without manual reprocessing.
Limitations and tradeoffs
Scores are only as valid as the historical data behind them; with few closed deals, rule-based scoring is often more defensible than predictive models.
