Updated scorecard with trend lines, progress report, refreshed action plan, renewal recommendation
Scores show measurable improvement OR documented reason for stagnation with corrective recommendations
Discovery Process & Client Onboarding
The discovery and onboarding process is designed to extract maximum signal with minimum client effort. Every question has a purpose — it feeds directly into at least one scoring formula.
Discovery Call Structure (45-60 Minutes)
Introductions, confidentiality confirmation, call agenda overview, expected outcomes. Set the frame: 'By the end of this process, you'll know exactly how much revenue you're losing and how to recover it.'
Walk through the completed pre-audit questionnaire. Validate answers, probe for context, capture nuance. Key areas: call volume patterns, after-hours gaps, response process, technology stack, competitor concerns.
Screen-share guided walkthrough of integration setup. CRM API key entry, phone system connection, analytics access. For clients unable to grant API access: demonstrate manual data upload template.
Open-ended exploration of revenue frustrations. 'What keeps you up at night about your revenue?' 'Where do you think leads are slipping away?' Capture qualitative data for executive summary narrative.
Finalize competitor set (minimum 3, maximum 5). Confirm names and URLs. Explain mystery-shopping methodology. Set expectations for competitive data timeline.
Confirm data collection deadline (3 business days). Schedule findings presentation (7-10 business days from today). Introduce the audit deliverable format. Answer questions.

Required Integrations & Data Collection
The audit requires read-only access to 8 data systems. Each integration has a defined priority, fallback method, and data quality threshold. The AI scoring engine can operate on manual data uploads but accuracy improves significantly with live API connections.
Integration Specifications
Data Quality Scoring Framework
What percentage of required data points are present? Missing fields reduce confidence in affected scores.
How current is the data? Data older than 90 days does not reflect current operational reality.
Do values pass reasonableness checks? Call volumes that don't match phone system logs trigger a flag.
Do data points agree across systems? CRM lead count should approximately match phone system unique callers.
All scores computed with narrow confidence intervals
Scores computed; data quality addendum included in report
Scores computed with wide confidence intervals; additional data requested
Audit paused; strategist works with client to improve data access before continuing
Scoring Engine — Implementation Specifications
The scoring engine is the core computational component of the audit. Each score has a defined formula, data dependencies, confidence-interval methodology, and automated validation routine. All calculations are transparent — clients receive the complete methodology with their scores.
Revenue Recovery Score™ (RRS) — Master Composite
All four subordinate scores must be computed first. RRS is the final calculation in the scoring pipeline. Requires all 8 data sources at minimum viable thresholds.
CI = weighted average of component CIs. With excellent data quality (85+): ±3 points. With adequate data (50-69): ±8 points. CI is prominently displayed alongside the score in all deliverables.
Lead Leakage Score™ (LLS)
Every leaked lead is classified into one of 8 root cause categories: No Response, Slow Response, Incomplete Follow-Up, Incorrectly Disqualified, Correctly Disqualified, Competitive Loss, Pricing, Timing/Not Ready. Classification is AI-assisted with strategist validation on a 10% sample.
Default: 30 days. A lead is considered "leaked" if it has not converted within 30 days of first contact. Configurable per industry — behavioral health (45 days), emergency services (7 days), B2B enterprise (90 days).
Revenue At Risk™ (RAR)
Assigned per opportunity using a logistic regression model trained on historical conversion data. Features: days since last contact, number of touchpoints, engagement score trajectory, deal stage, competitor presence signals, time in stage.
TDF = 1.0 + (days_without_contact / 7)² / 10
A deal untouched for 7 days carries 1.7x risk weight. 14 days = 3.8x. 30 days = 14.3x. The decay accelerates to reflect the non-linear relationship between silence and loss probability.
Response Velocity Score™ (RVS)
Speed_Score = 100 − min(100, (Avg_Response_Seconds / 60) × 5). Under 30s = 95+. 60s = 92. 5 min = 75. 30 min = 0. Calibrated so that every 12 seconds of improvement = 1 point gain.
Response time is measured independently per channel (voice, web, SMS, email) then weighted by inbound volume share. A channel receiving 60% of inquiries contributes 60% to the overall RVS calculation.
Competitive Visibility Score™ (CVS)
Simultaneous mystery-shop of client and all competitors. 3 calls per business, 2 web form submissions, 2 SMS inquiries, spread across business hours and after-hours. Response times, quality, and conversion effectiveness are recorded and compared.
Minimum 3, maximum 5 direct competitors. Must operate in the same geographic market AND serve the same customer segment. At least one must be a recognized market leader. Client validates the set during discovery call.
Internal SOP — Standard Operating Procedures
Standardized procedures ensure every audit is delivered to the same quality standard regardless of which strategist is assigned. These SOPs cover the critical decision points, escalation paths, and quality requirements.
- Minimum: 50+ inbound inquiries/month across all channels
- Must have at least one digital lead source (web form, chat, or SMS)
- Must be able to provide 2 of 3 critical data sources: CRM, phone system, website analytics
- Excluded: businesses with < 10 inquiries/month (sample too small for statistical validity)
- Edge case: enterprise with 1,000+ inquiries/month — flag for Senior Strategist assignment
- Day 0: Welcome email with audit timeline and what to expect
- Day 1: Discovery call confirmation (24 hours before scheduled)
- Day 2: Post-call summary with confirmed next steps (within 4 hours of call)
- Day 4: Data collection check-in (if manual upload not received)

AI-Powered Recommendations Engine
The TelegentAI™ AI Business Consultant™ generates the initial recommendation set, which is then reviewed, refined, and approved by the Audit Strategist before client delivery. The engine draws from a knowledge base of 200+ pre-defined recommendation templates mapped to specific score thresholds and root cause patterns.
200+ proven intervention templates organized by: score affected, industry vertical, organization size, implementation complexity, and expected impact range. Each template includes: description, prerequisites, implementation steps, expected score delta, and time-to-value.
Maps score combinations to recommendation clusters. Example: Low RVS + High LLS + After-Hours dominant → AI Call Capture + SMS Auto-Response + 3-Touch Follow-Up Sequence. Patterns are continuously refined from audit outcome data.
Calculates projected revenue recovery per recommendation using: leakage volume × average transaction value × recovery rate benchmark × confidence factor. Outputs: conservative, expected, and aggressive scenarios with payback period.
Executive Summary & Client-Facing Report
The executive summary is the most important section of the audit — it's what busy executives actually read. It must communicate the complete revenue story in under 5 minutes. The full report provides depth for operators who need detail.
Executive Summary Template (2 Pages)
Opening Paragraph — The Revenue Story
Narrative paragraph connecting the client's business to the audit findings. Structure: [Company Name] generates approximately [X] inbound opportunities per month representing [$Y] in addressable revenue. Our audit identified that [Z%] of this revenue is not being captured — creating a [$A]/month revenue recovery opportunity. This report quantifies the gaps and provides a clear action plan.
Must use client-specific numbers. Must be 3-5 sentences. No jargon. Written to be quoted in a board meeting.
The 5-Score Dashboard
Visual card grid showing all 5 scores with: current value, industry benchmark, percentile rank, and trend indicator (baseline only for first audit; trend arrow from previous audit for re-audits).
Scores must be displayed with confidence intervals. Color coding: green (top quartile), amber (middle 50%), red (bottom quartile). Industry benchmark must be from the same vertical.
The Revenue Recovery Opportunity
Single bold number: the total monthly recoverable revenue. Supported by a 3-scenario projection table: Conservative, Expected, Aggressive — each with projected RRS improvement, monthly recovery, annualized recovery, and implementation timeline.
Conservative must use the lower bound of all confidence intervals. Never overpromise. Expected is the single most important number in the report — it's what the CFO will quote.
Top 3 Recommended Actions
Three prioritized recommendations. Each gets: a bold headline, one-sentence impact statement, projected revenue recovery, implementation effort (days/weeks), and expected score improvement. Format: '1. Deploy AI Call Capture — Recover $16,250/month in missed after-hours calls. Implementation: 1-2 weeks. Projected RVS improvement: +25 points.'
Recommendations must be ordered by revenue impact ÷ implementation effort. No ties allowed — force-rank all three.
Call to Action
Clear next step: schedule implementation planning session, sign platform agreement, begin Phase 1 deployment. Contact information for the assigned Audit Strategist and Customer Success Manager.
Must create urgency without pressure: 'Clients who begin Phase 1 implementation within 30 days of their audit recover an average of 40% more revenue in the first quarter than those who delay.'
Full Client Report Structure (8 Sections, 20-25 Pages)
The complete revenue story for time-constrained leadership. Contains the 5-score dashboard, revenue recovery opportunity, and top 3 actions.
Must pass the 'leave-behind test': if this is the only section the CEO reads before a board meeting, they should be able to quote the key numbers.
Transparent documentation of how the audit was conducted, what data was used, its quality score, and any limitations.
Must include data quality score, data recency, and any confidence-interval notes. Builds trust through transparency.
Detailed findings: call handling, response processes, lead management, scheduling efficiency, technology stack.
Include direct quotes from the discovery call (anonymized). Visual process maps showing current vs. optimized flow.
Full detail on all 5 scores: formula, inputs, calculation walkthrough, benchmark comparison, percentile rank, interpretation.
One score per sub-section. Each sub-section starts with the score in large type. Include 'What This Means For You' in plain language.
Leakage cascade visualization, dollar-value attribution per leakage point, root cause breakdown.
Sankey diagram is the hero visual. Must show dollar values at each leak point. The 'biggest leak' should be visually dominant.
Competitive Visibility Score™ breakdown, mystery-shopping results, competitive positioning map.
Never disparage competitors by name in writing. Use Competitor A/B/C. The mystery-shop data speaks for itself.
4-phase implementation roadmap with projected score improvements, revenue recovery per phase, and timeline.
Phase 1 items must be things the client can start TOMORROW without any purchase. This builds momentum and trust.
Raw data tables, competitor audit details, integration specifications, pricing and commercial terms, next steps.
Include a glossary of all proprietary score definitions so the report is self-contained. Include re-audit subscription terms.
