How Global Lead Finder actually works

Ten real steps, no black box. Every stage below is something the code genuinely does, not a marketing description of an idealized version of it.

01
You describe the opportunity you want.
A free-text query like "companies looking for web developers", optionally narrowed by country, category, and minimum score.
02
Global Lead Finder searches configured public sources.
Only sources an administrator has actually added, health-checked, and enabled are contacted — see the live list on the Sources page.
03
Sources return current public information.
Each source adapter makes a real HTTP request (e.g. a public RSS feed) and returns whatever it genuinely receives — nothing is padded or invented if a source returns little or nothing.
04
The system validates and retrieves the original pages where permitted.
Every candidate URL passes SSRF/URL validation before anything is fetched. Sources whose terms are not marked "permitted" are never queried.
05
The system extracts relevant content.
Title, description/body text, and publish date (when the source provides one) are extracted as-is — never rewritten or summarized into something the source didn't say.
06
Intent detection identifies potential buying opportunities.
A transparent, rule-based classifier looks for explicit buying-intent language (e.g. "looking for", "need a", "RFQ") and excludes informational, tutorial, or promotional content.
07
Results are scored.
A 0–100 score is calculated from purchase intent, recency, specificity, urgency, budget signals, business relevance, and source reliability — full breakdown shown on every lead card.
08
Duplicates are removed.
The same opportunity discovered via multiple sources is shown once, with every contributing source listed.
09
Freshness is evaluated.
Retrieval freshness (how recently we fetched it) and opportunity freshness (how recently it was actually published) are shown separately and never confused.
10
Verified opportunities are shown with their original source.
Every lead links to the exact URL it came from. If nothing genuinely qualifies, you see "no verified opportunities found" — never a filled-in placeholder.

What this is not

Global Lead Finder does not crawl or access the entire internet. It searches the sources that are legitimately configured and available to the system — currently 6 source(s) configured, 3 currently online and usable. A zero-result search means exactly that: nothing verifiable was found, not a system failure disguised as an empty state.
