Sound familiar?

  • Your ICP is a slide, and each team reads it differently.
  • Sales and marketing work from different target lists.
  • Budget goes to segments that have never converted at scale.
  • Lead volume is fine. Deal sizes are all over the place.
  • "Good fit" means something different to everyone who says it.

One engagement, 3 outcomes

1 · ICP analysis

Who you win, who you lose, what drives deal value. Tested statistically against your own deal history.

2 · Scoring formula

Fit becomes a 0-100 number, weighted by revenue contribution. Including the disqualifiers that predict a loss before the first call.

3 · Target account list

The formula, applied to the market. A ranked, tiered list of lookalike accounts - CRM-ready, sized to your sales capacity.

Backwards

The client's core targeting belief was reversed by the data. Their "best" segment spent 25% less than average. Their strongest segment wasn't on the target list.

73%

Of the revenue difference between customers was explained by the scoring model. Company age predicted nothing. A handful of factors carried nearly all the weight.

Top-quartile deals came from companies ~25× larger - but size predicted deal value, not win rate. Optimise for conversion alone and you chase small, easy deals.

Under 3%

Of lost deals were lost on price. Half were "client decided not to progress". Most wasted pipeline came from accounts with no reason to act.

European B2B SaaS scaleup

The belief: client-facing businesses are our best customers. The data: they spent 25% less. The scoring model explained 73% of customer value, and 4 factors carried nearly all the weight.

The market split by country - customer profiles differed enough that each market got its own scoring formula.

Delivered: 29,183 accounts scored into priority tiers, imported into the CRM, with a prospecting playbook: filters, tiers, who to call first.

PE-backed B2B services company

The task: shift revenue from legacy services to higher-margin lines. 5 years of CRM history: 5,000+ deals across ~940 companies.

One blended ICP became four - each service line had a different buyer, sometimes an opposite one. The strongest signal was a disqualifier: an interim CTO halved the odds of winning.

Delivered: four validated profiles, loss and deal-value analysis, and a scored whitespace target list sized to sales capacity.

How it works

1CRM export
2Enrichment
3Statistical testing
4Scoring formula
5List + playbook

You provide one CRM export. Everything else is enriched externally - around 20 external signals per company, taking the data from around 65% complete to over 97%. Statistical testing separates signal from noise. The formula is scored against the market. The list lands in your CRM.

Also included

A prospecting playbook

The filters, the tiers, who to work first, how to re-score as results come in.

Per-market variants

Where markets differ, each gets its own weights.

The evidence pack

Plain-English findings - including the assumptions your data disproved.

Why it holds up

  • Built on your deal history, with industry benchmarks left out of it.
  • Companies counted once - one loyal client can't count 80 times and fake a signal.
  • Renewals separated from new business. Blending them describes your existing base back to you.
  • Each signal stress-tested. A few strong signals beat twenty plausible ones.
  • Findings adversarially reviewed before you see them. What doesn't survive attack gets cut.

Frequently asked questions

What does this service deliver?

3 connected things: an ideal customer profile built from your closed-won data, a scoring formula that turns "good fit" into a 0-100 number, and a ranked CRM-ready target account list - every company in the market that looks like your best customers, tiered by priority.

What if we already have an ICP?

Most companies do. This tests it. The analysis starts from your closed-won and closed-lost deals, enriches every company with external data, and measures which factors predict wins and deal value. Where your existing ICP holds up, you get the evidence behind it. Where it doesn't, you find out before the next quarter's budget follows it.

What data do you need from us?

One CRM export: closed-won and closed-lost deals with company names, values and dates. Everything else is enriched externally - recent engagements took the data from around 65% complete to over 97%. Messy CRM data is normal. Gaps that limit confidence are flagged.

How is this different from the growth-audit ICP module?

The audit module diagnoses: it tells you whether your current ICP holds up against your data. This service delivers all 3 pieces - the validated ICP, the scoring formula, and the ranked lookalike target list, ready to import into your CRM.

What does the target account list look like when it arrives?

A ranked list of net-new accounts, each scored against your ICP formula and sorted into priority tiers, delivered CRM-ready with import fields and tags. It comes with a prospecting playbook: the exact filters, what each tier means, who to work first, and how to re-score as conversion data comes in.
