CRM and sales decision
BrandWell
Build a narrow replacement (ingest a third‑party intent feed, enrich and score leads, and sync to CRM/ads) if you only need core routing and dashboards; keep paying for BrandWell if you require their claimed scale, topic coverage, continuous enrichment, or AIMEE automation.

Every project below is open source and already does this job today. Fork one, self-host it, or take the parts you need — the build prompt further down assumes an empty file, and this is the shortcut past that. Licences differ; check the one on each card before you ship.
What a replacement has to do
- Ingest intent signals (third‑party intent feed + site events), match/enrich signals to person/company records, score and qualify leads by intent/fit, route qualified records to CRM/ads/exports and surface them in a dashboard.
What it still won’t have
- Access to BrandWell's claimed proprietary-scale intent graph (5B visits/day)
- Prebuilt 35,000+ mapped intent topics and continuously updated coverage
- Out-of-the-box AIMEE AI marketing engine and RankWell content tooling
- Enterprise integrations, onboarding, and custom setup services
What remains hard
- Proprietary data
Through our data partners tracking over 5 billion visits per day, we show you who clicks on your ads, who clicks on your organic results, and who's coming from social media — complete with full profiles and contact data, whether they fill o

The verdict above measures whether you could build it. This one is only about money.
Runnable build prompt
Build an intent-led GTM microservice stack (Node.js + Express + Postgres + Redis, React dashboard). Scope: (1) ingest an external intent-feed API and normalize events; (2) capture site events via a small JS snippet and store them; (3) perform identity resolution by matching IP/UA/email hashes to enrichment API results; (4) enrich records via a paid enrichment API (e.g., Clearbit-style) and store person/company profiles; (5) implement rule-based intent+fit scoring producing COVID-style 'qualified lead' flags; (6) sync qualified leads to HubSpot via their API and push audiences to Google/Meta via their APIs; (7) provide a React dashboard to search topics, view scored leads, and trigger exports. Out of scope: training proprietary intent models from raw web traffic, building a 35k-topic taxonomy, real-time 5B-visit scale ingestion. Include error handling, retries, observability (basic logs + Sentry), and tests (unit tests for scoring and integration tests for API syncs).

The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time — so the same evidence always produces the same number.
