Most of our Napier-Hastings engagements start the same way: a 20-minute call where the owner describes a workflow we've heard before in shape but never in detail. AI lead qualification is then designed against the detail, not the shape.
For Napier-Hastings operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
Our goal is to give Napier-Hastings businesses a three-day weekend, so people can spend more time with their families and the people they love :)
What AI lead qualification actually does
Every form-fill, every missed call, every Instagram DM - scored, enriched, and routed within minutes. Your team only sees leads that match your ideal customer.
- 01 Auto-enriches with NZBN, company size, and history
- 02 Scores using your past won/lost deals as training data
- 03 Hot leads get SMS-routed to the right rep instantly
- 04 Cold leads enter nurture, not the bin
Built on: Claude HubSpot NZBN API Twilio Vercel

- Your data stays yoursIt runs on your accounts and your tools. If we part ways you keep the system and everything in it.

- Support after it landsThe people who built it stay reachable when the business changes shape around it.
How AI lead qualification compares
The two things most businesses do instead, and where each one runs out.
| Hiring for it | An off-the-shelf tool | Kiwi Dynamics | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fit to how you work | Fits perfectly, costs a salary | You bend your process to suit the tool | Built around the workflow you already run |
| Time to something useful | Immediate, and permanent | Quick to switch on, slow to make fit | A working slice in weeks, then hardened |
| Who owns the data | You do | The vendor, on the vendor's terms | You do, in your own accounts |
| When it breaks | That person sorts it, if they are in | A support queue and a ticket number | The people who built it |
| What it costs | A salary, every year, forever | Per seat, forever, used or not | Scoped and quoted up front |

Talk to us about this →How we build AI lead qualification for a Napier-Hastings team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Napier-Hastings business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI scores your leads.
Talk to usHow the work runs
- Find the one workflowWe look for the job costing Napier-Hastings businesses the most hours or the most leads, and deliberately ignore the rest for now.
- Ship a working sliceA narrow version goes into production in weeks, against real work, so the value shows up before the build is finished.
- Prove it, then widenWe measure it against what the work cost before. If it does not pay for itself, we say so rather than scaling it.
- Harden and hand overLogging, fallbacks and a real handover, so it keeps running when we are not in the room.

FAQ
When does AI lead qualification actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a Napier-Hastings - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call - fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Has this actually shipped for a real Napier-Hastings?
Yes. Sales reps spend 70% less time on dead-end conversations. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI lead qualification can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude, HubSpot, NZBN API, Twilio, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
