What this quiz scores

These are the live inputs. A published score is 0–100 against a perfect match for your answers. Affiliate links are not an input.

1. 1. What are you replacing? We will not recommend the sequencer or intel tool you are already trying to leave.
2. 2. How big is the team that will live in it? A founder sending their own mail and an enterprise SDR floor fail in opposite ways.
3. 3. What is the job this system has to do? Pick the work that would make you open it every day — sequencer, AI seller, dialer, intel, or research.
4. 4. Which motion has to work on day one? Voice without a dialer is a hard filter. Multichannel needs more than a mail merge.
5. 5. How should email connect? A sequencer that cannot see the inbox becomes a second job.
6. 6. How much should AI do in outbound? This is a hard filter if you say dealbreaker. We score AI-nativeness, not a Copilot bolted onto a cadence.
7. 7. When does it need to be live? Implementation speed is a scored attribute. An enterprise engagement suite loses if you need this week.
8. 8. What is the monthly budget, roughly? List prices are starting points. Seat-plus-platform quotes are treated as unconstrained.
9. 9. Do you need a free plan to start? A free plan is a hard filter. A trial is not the same thing.
10. 10. What does this have to talk to? Open APIs and marketplaces are catalog flags — not a paid boost.
11. 11. Where does the data need to live? Self-host and compliance are hard filters when you require them.
12. 12. Any single feature that is a dealbreaker? If you pick one, products without it are removed before scoring.
