If you close 25 clients at $200/mo that's $60k ARR - but there's roughly a 13% shot you get there in year 1, and you'll likely spend more building CRM integrations than you earn back.

Key risks
- HubSpot and Salesforce already bundle lead scoring into the tiers most targets already pay for - the standalone value prop collapses the moment a prospect checks their existing tool
- Model accuracy lives or dies on each customer's historical CRM data quality; most SMBs have sparse, inconsistently-logged deal histories that produce garbage predictions and kill trust within the first month
- Sales reps are adversarially resistant to AI gatekeeping their pipeline - two wrong scores and the tool gets ignored regardless of aggregate accuracy, making retention brutal without tight feedback loops
