Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Solution Architect

Weighted verdict

Has implemented three of these and knows where they fail: identity resolution, custom objects, and the API limit nobody mentioned. Wants a data model extensible without vendor services and a documented path from anonymous visitor to known contact.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Journeys & orchestration

How this is scored

Multi-step automation: triggers, branching, waits, and — the part that decides whether it survives contact with reality — what happens when journeys collide.

0 — Autoresponders on a single trigger; no branching, no waits, no conditions.

3 — Linear sequences with simple conditions, one entry trigger per journey, and no visibility into where a contact currently sits.

5 — A visual builder with branching on attributes and behaviour, waits and goals, entry and exit conditions, and per-contact journey state visible.

8 — Event-driven entry from external systems, frequency capping and suppression across journeys, priority when a contact qualifies for several, versioning of a live journey, and testing against real records.

10 — Orchestration is coherent across the whole programme: one decision layer deciding what a person receives next regardless of which journey wants to send it, holdout groups for measurement, and a journey a colleague can read months later without a diagram.

Report an error

The Solution Architect

The drag-and-drop journey canvas with triggers and branching logic, behavioral triggers, and the ability to narrow or expand audiences mid-campaign are real and documented. What I could not find is anything on waits, entry and exit conditions, per-contact journey state, or the part that decides survival: what happens when a contact qualifies for several journeys — no frequency capping, suppression across journeys, priority, or live-journey versioning is shown. 3 4 5 8

Report an error

Lead scoring, routing & lifecycle

How this is scored

Scoring, qualification and handover to sales — including whether the customer can explain to a lead why the system decided what it decided.

0 — No scoring or lifecycle model; every contact is treated alike.

3 — A single additive score with fixed rules, no decay, no lifecycle stages and no routing.

5 — Configurable scoring on attributes and behaviour with decay, lifecycle stages, and routing to owners or teams with notification.

8 — Multiple scoring models per product or region, negative scoring, account-level scoring alongside contact-level, SLA on follow-up, and score history visible per contact.

10 — Scoring is explainable and accountable: the contribution of each signal visible per record, model changes versioned with their effect on the funnel, routing rules auditable, and predictive scoring — where offered — documented well enough for a DPO to assess it as automated decision-making.

Report an error

The Solution Architect

The behavioral segments — churn-risk attributes, fatigue index — are campaign targeting, not lead management, and the positioning is explicitly B2C with no sales handover in sight. We found no public information on scoring models, decay, lifecycle stages with handover, routing to owners, or score history per contact, so there is no way for a customer to explain a decision the system made about a person. 8 1 3

Channels & personalisation

How this is scored

What the platform can actually send and personalise: email, SMS, push, on-site content, ads audiences — judged on what shares one profile and one suppression list.

0 — Email only.

3 — Email plus one further channel, managed separately with its own list and no shared suppression.

5 — Email, SMS or push and web forms driven from one contact profile, with dynamic content blocks and shared unsubscribe handling.

8 — The above plus on-site personalisation, ad-audience sync to the major networks, cross-channel frequency capping, and content personalised on behaviour rather than only on stored fields.

10 — Channel is a delivery detail: one profile and one consent state across every channel, next-best-channel selection, and personalisation that draws on the full behavioural record without the marketer assembling it by hand.

Report an error

The Solution Architect

Email, SMS, WhatsApp and mobile run from one real-time profile with a shared editor, and the consent-based channel routing — opt out of email, the journey sends WhatsApp — tells me consent state is shared rather than per-channel siloed. Personalisation on behavior, visit frequency and spend patterns is evidenced, not just stored fields; we found no public information on on-site personalisation, ad-audience sync to the major networks, or cross-channel frequency capping. 4 9 5 8

Report an error

Consent, tracking & profiling

How this is scored

The platform builds behavioural profiles of named people. Consent capture and proof, tracking that can be limited, retention, and whether automated decisions about individuals are documented and contestable.

0 — Tracking always on and undocumented, single opt-in, no consent record, no retention rule, no way to exclude a person from profiling.

3 — Double opt-in available with a timestamp, cookie tracking that cannot be disabled per contact, and retention described as the customer's problem.

5 — Double opt-in as documented default with a stored consent record including source, per-channel consent states, tracking switchable per contact, and stated retention for inactive records.

8 — Consent reproducible as evidence with the wording versioned, profiling suppressible per person, retention executed per data category, documented handling of access and erasure requests including derived scores, and a cookieless or first-party tracking mode.

10 — Built for the accountability principle: a per-contact history of what was tracked, scored and decided, automated decision-making documented well enough to support an Art. 22 assessment, profiling off by default for anyone who has not consented to it, and deletion that removes derived scores as well as raw events.

Report an error

The Solution Architect

Conscent updates land in the profile in real time and channel routing honours it, which is the right shape — but the vendor's own cookie policy describes email tracking pixels, cross-device linking with unnamed third-party partners, and interest-based advertising, which tells me the tracking posture is traditional third-party cookies. We found no public information on double opt-in defaults, stored consent records with source, retention, per-person profiling suppression, or handling of access and erasure requests including derived signals like the fatigue index. 6 8 4 9

CRM integration & data model

How this is scored

The join that decides the implementation: how the platform and the CRM stay in agreement about who a person is, and what happens when they disagree.

0 — CSV import and export; no CRM integration and no identity resolution.

3 — One-way sync into a named CRM on a schedule, with duplicates resolved by hand and no conflict rules.

5 — Bidirectional sync with at least one major CRM, field mapping, deduplication rules, and a sync error log somebody can act on.

8 — Configurable conflict resolution per field, account and contact objects both modelled, custom objects supported, near-real-time sync with retry, and a documented API with rate limits.

10 — One record, two systems, no ambiguity: identity resolution across anonymous and known states, field-level ownership defined per system, replay of failed syncs, and a data model the customer can extend without vendor services.

Report an error

The Solution Architect

Identity resolution with anonymous activity captured early and applied once identity is known is exactly the documented path from anonymous visitor to known contact I look for, and the real-time 360° profile unifying engagement, product and first-party data is evidenced. But the CRM half of the join is invisible: we found no public information on any CRM connector, bidirectional sync, field mapping, conflict resolution, custom objects, or a documented API with rate limits — and the audience data structure itself is sold as a professional-services engagement, which points to a model you buy rather than extend yourself. 5 8

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where behavioural profiles of named EU residents are processed, who the contracting entity is, and which subprocessors see them. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; scored here as this buyer weighs it — which given the profiling is heavily.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated or non-EU, subprocessors unnamed, behavioural data leaving the EU with no stated basis.

3 — EU data residency for storage while tracking, sending or support access remain non-EU, or the contracting entity sits outside the EU.

5 — EU hosting as standard and an EU contracting entity, but parts of the chain — tracking scripts, AI scoring, analytics — are non-EU without an explained safeguard.

8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, complete subprocessor list published, and any non-EU processing named with its legal basis.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: every profile, event and derived score processed in the EU by European subprocessors, certification published, and no transfer requiring a Schrems II argument to survive.

Report an error

The Solution Architect

No hosting location, contracting entity, or subprocessor list appears on any captured page, and the cookie policy names unnamed third-party partners in cross-device linking and interest-based advertising. For a platform building behavioral profiles of named people, that silence on where profiles, events and derived scores are processed is decisive as this buyer weighs it. 1 6

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the real annual invoice for their contact base and send volume — including the tier where automation actually begins, overage, and mandatory onboarding — from public pages alone.

0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation, and onboarding fees are never mentioned.

3 — A contact-tier headline exists, but the tier where journeys, scoring or CRM sync begin is unstated, as is any mandatory implementation fee.

5 — Contact-tier prices public with billing period and send limits stated, but at least one commonly needed capability sits in an unpriced enterprise tier.

8 — Every tier priced publicly with contact and volume limits, feature boundaries, overage rates, onboarding costs, minimum term and VAT treatment stated.

10 — Complete price computability: annual invoice derivable for a given contact count, send volume and feature set, including overage, additional users and any implementation fee stated outright.

Report an error

The Solution Architect

We found no public information on prices, contact tiers, send limits, overage rates, or term minimums on any captured page. The professional services, managed services and onboarding offerings are described in detail with no figures attached, so a buyer cannot compute even the shape of an annual invoice from public pages alone. 1 8 5
