LeadIntel OSINT Skill
Purpose
Validate B2B leads as textile finishing mill prospects using dual evidence (K1 external + K2 internal) and assign actionable tier classification.
Core Rules
1. Mill Definition
A "Prospect Mill" must:
- •Operate finishing/dyeing/processing equipment (NOT just trade/distribute)
- •Serve the apparel or technical textile industry
- •Have operational capacity (not startup-stage only)
Machines in scope: Stenter frames, tenter frames, ramöz, dyeing vats, mercerizing lines, coating applicators, heat-setting ovens
2. Evidence Standards (K1 + K2)
| Evidence Type | Source | Strength | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| K1: OEM Reference | Monforts/Brückner/Krantz customer page | ⭐⭐⭐ Highest | "Acme Mills - Turkey - stenter reference" |
| K1: PDF Exhibitor | Fair catalogs (ITMA, Texfair, Colombiatex) | ⭐⭐⭐ High | PDF: "ITMA 2022 Exhibitors: Acme Textiles - Dyeing" |
| K1: Job Posting | LinkedIn/Indeed "Stenter Operator" | ⭐⭐⭐ High | "Hiring: Stenter Machine Operator - Acme Mills" |
| K1: Trade Import | HS 8451.90 import records (Comtrade) | ⭐⭐ Medium | "Importer: Acme Mills Ltd. - Parts value $200K" |
| K2: Website - Production | /capabilities, /technology, /production | ⭐⭐⭐ High | "Our Monforts stenter line..." on official site |
| K2: Website - Keywords | Mentions stenter, heat-setting, finishing | ⭐⭐ Medium | "Finishing services for synthetic fabrics" in homepage |
| K1: Press Release | News: factory opening, new equipment | ⭐⭐ Medium | "Acme opens €2M Brückner dyehouse" |
Tier-1 Golden: BOTH K1 (≥1) AND K2 (≥1)
Tier-2 Promising: K1 only OR K2 only
Tier-3 Research: No evidence yet, or contradictory signals
3. Negative Filters (Auto-Reject)
- •Company name contains: Brand, Retail, Trading, Distribution, Group, Association, Event
- •Website is generic listing (*.org.br, global-trace-base.org, linkedin.com only)
- •Contact role is sales/marketing for unrelated product
- •No operational mill found after 20-min research
4. Classification Logic
def classify_lead(k1_count, k2_count, negative_signal, oem_brand):
if negative_signal:
return "❌ REJECT"
if k1_count >= 1 and k2_count >= 1:
return "✅ TIER-1 GOLDEN"
if k1_count >= 1 or k2_count >= 1:
return "⚠️ TIER-2 PROMISING"
return "🔍 TIER-3 RESEARCH"
Skill Application Examples
Example 1: Clear Fit
Input: Acme Textile Mills, Turkey, no website provided
Process:
- •Search: "Acme Textile Mills Turkey dyeing" → Find acme-textile.com.tr
- •Check Monforts reference list → Found "Acme Mills"
- •Visit acme-textile.com.tr/capabilities → "Monforts stenter, heat-setting, 50 tons/day"
- •Search LinkedIn → Job post: "Stenter Operator – Acme Mills (posted 2 months ago)"
Output:
{
"classification": "✅ TIER-1 GOLDEN",
"k1_evidence": ["Monforts reference list", "LinkedIn job posting"],
"k2_evidence": ["Website /capabilities page"],
"hs_code": "8451.90",
"sales_angle": "Monforts chain parts + spindle nuts for 50-ton stenter",
"next_action": "Prioritize outreach; reference Monforts customer base"
}
Example 2: Uncertain Fit
Input: TechFab Solutions, Pakistan
Process:
- •Website: techfab.pk → "Textile solutions provider"
- •No stenter/finishing keywords visible
- •LinkedIn: "B2B platform for textile buyers and sellers"
- •NOT found in OEM reference lists
- •No job postings for stenter operators
Output:
{
"classification": "⚠️ TIER-2 PROMISING (Low)",
"reason": "Website vague; no K1 evidence yet",
"next_action": "Request more details: Do you operate finishing equipment? What brands?",
"confidence": "MEDIUM"
}
Example 3: Clear Reject
Input: Istanbul Fashion Group
Process:
- •Website: "Fashion brand showcasing Turkish textiles"
- •No production capability mentioned
- •Retail/distribution focus
- •NOT in OEM reference lists
Output:
{
"classification": "❌ REJECT",
"reason": "Retail brand, not mill operator",
"confidence": "HIGH"
}
