Lead scoring in a CRM
When every lead looks the same in the queue, reps waste time on the wrong ones and let hot leads go cold. Scoring turns a flat list into a priority order.

Short answer
Lead scoring ranks incoming leads by how well they fit your ideal customer and how engaged they are, so reps work the most promising ones first. Ardovo scores leads on firmographic fit and behavioral signals as they arrive, and Rook keeps scores current and routes the hottest leads to the right rep the moment they cross a threshold.
What you get
Fit plus engagement in one score
Ardovo combines firmographic fit (industry, size, role) with behavioral signals (opens, visits, replies) so the score reflects both who they are and how interested they are.
Scores that update in real time
As a lead engages, the score moves. Rook recalculates on new activity so the top of the queue always reflects the latest signal.
Hot leads routed instantly
Cross a threshold and Rook routes the lead to the right owner and starts the first-touch sequence, so speed to lead is measured in minutes.
Scoring you can tune with outcomes
Ardovo shows which score bands actually convert, so you can adjust weights based on what closes rather than guesswork.
How to build a lead score that works
Start with fit: the firmographic traits your best customers share. Add engagement: the behaviors that precede a real conversation, weighted by how predictive they are. Keep it simple enough to explain to a rep. Ardovo ships a sensible default model and lets you tune the weights, then shows conversion by score band so you can see whether a 90 really closes better than a 60 and adjust.
Why scoring plus routing beats scoring alone
A score is only useful if it changes what happens next. Ardovo connects the score to action: the highest scores route to reps instantly and trigger fast follow-up, mid scores go to nurture, low scores stay in marketing. Rook executes that routing automatically, so a hot lead never sits in a queue while the trail goes cold.
