Evidence: Described by posterThe person describes what happened in words, without screenshots or video.

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Here's a task I'd like your help with. Read it all the way through before you start.

Goal: Check each lead's website and keep only the companies that fit my ideal customer.

Check with me first: How would I describe my ideal customer in two or three points?

What I'll give you:
- My lead list with company websites
- My ideal customer profile

Rules:
- Read each company's website and decide fit or no fit, with a one-line reason.
- Mark unclear ones as "check" instead of guessing.
- Don't contact anyone or upload to the outreach tool.

Output: My lead list with fit, no fit or check, and a reason for each.

You'll know it worked when: only well-matched companies are left for outreach.

Here's a task I'd like your help with. Read it all the way through before you start.

Goal: Check each lead's website and keep only companies that fit my ideal customer profile.

Quick check first: tell me if anything below is missing or unclear.

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Lead list with websites
- Ideal customer profile in 2–3 points
- Disqualifiers
- What I'll do with fit leads

Rules:
- Read each website's homepage and product pages before deciding.
- Mark fit or no fit with a one-line reason and the evidence.
- Flag dead sites or parked domains.
- Don't contact anyone.
- Use the same criteria for every lead; list the criteria at the top.
- Score borderline cases separately instead of forcing a decision.
- Note company size or industry when the site shows it.

If you get stuck: If a site doesn't load, mark it 'unreachable'. If a login, CAPTCHA or two-step code appears, stop and ask me to handle it; never guess or store passwords.

Verify before you finish: Spot-check 10 decisions.

Output: The list with fit, reason and evidence columns.

Done when: only good-fit leads remain, each with a reason.
