Score users based on product usage: feature adoption depth, session frequency, team invitations, integration activations, and upgrade page visits. Automatically identifies Product Qualified Leads (PQLs) for sales outreach. Unlike marketing-based scoring, every signal in this model comes from inside your product: a user who invites two teammates and connects an integration is telling you more about purchase intent than any whitepaper download ever will. The scorecard weights five usage dimensions and lets you tag certain events as 'hand-raisers' — upgrade page visits and billing-settings views — that bypass the threshold entirely and alert sales immediately. It also distinguishes user-level from account-level scores, because in a PLG motion the buyer is often not the most active user; the account score aggregates the whole workspace so sales reaches out to the right person with full context on what the team has already adopted.

The Problem This Solves

PLG companies generate thousands of signups but can't identify which free users are ready for a sales conversation.

Who It's For

Product-led SaaS companies with a freemium or free trial model.

Use Cases

  • Identify PQLs from product usage data without manual analysis
  • Trigger sales outreach at the perfect moment of product engagement
  • Measure product-market fit by analyzing adoption patterns of converting users
