You'll learn how to: Find out why a specific contact has the ICP score they have, broken down signal by signal.
Time: 1 minute.
Prereqs: You have at least one ICP configured in Go To Market (see Configure an ICP). The contact has been scored (typically auto-happens after enrichment or on contact create).
Steps
- Open the contact's profile from the Contacts table.
- Find the ICP score badge. It usually sits near the top of the profile with the score as a number (e.g. 78) and a colour-coded badge (red / amber / green).
- Click the badge.
- A breakdown panel opens showing:
- Score against each priority ICP (typically ICP #1, ICP #2).
- Signals matched for each ICP (e.g. "Industry: SaaS = match", "Headcount: 50-200 = match", "Title contains 'Head of' = match").
- Signals missing (e.g. "Funding stage: unknown", "Location: not in target region").
- AI-derived signals (if your plan supports it, e.g. "Recent posts about scaling = match").
- Overall reasoning in plain English.
- Close the panel by clicking outside or the X.
What the score means
- 80-100 (green): high-fit. Treat as a priority contact for outbound or rhythm engagement.
- 50-79 (amber): moderate fit. Worth nurturing but not first-priority.
- 0-49 (red): low fit. Either not your ICP or missing too many signals to evaluate. Don't waste outbound budget here unless there's a specific reason.
The exact thresholds may vary by workspace. The colour bands are configurable in Go To Market settings.
Improve a low score
If a contact looks like a good fit but the score is low, the breakdown usually tells you why. Common reasons and fixes:
- Missing company data (industry, headcount, funding): run enrichment on their company. See Enrich a single contact.
- Title doesn't match any of your ICP title patterns: edit the contact's title field to match what they actually do, or add their actual title to the ICP's title-pattern list.
- Domain not resolved: their email domain might not have been linked to a company. Set the Company field on the contact.
- ICP itself is too narrow: re-tune the ICP in Go To Market with looser criteria.
Re-score on demand
If you've updated the contact's data or the ICP definition, you can re-score:
- Click the Re-score action in the breakdown panel.
- Or run Enrich on the contact (re-running enrichment also recalculates the ICP score).
Most workspaces also re-score automatically on a daily background job.
Bulk re-score
To re-score many contacts at once after changing an ICP:
- Open the Contacts table.
- Tick the rows.
- Bulk toolbar > More > Score ICP.
If something goes wrong
- Symptom: "ICP badge isn't on the profile." → Fix: Either you have no ICPs configured (set one up in Go To Market) or the contact hasn't been scored yet. Click Score ICP if the action is available.
- Symptom: "Breakdown shows 'No ICP configured'." → Fix: Set up at least one priority ICP. See Configure an ICP.
- Symptom: "Score updates after enrichment but the breakdown doesn't refresh." → Fix: Close and reopen the breakdown panel.
- Symptom: "I disagree with the score." → Fix: Either tune the ICP (loosen / tighten criteria), or accept that the score is a heuristic and use your judgment. The score is advisory, not gospel.
