1) You only need basic scoring inside HubSpot/Salesforce
- If scoring needs are limited to a small set of rules and basic thresholds, native CRM/MAP scoring will be simpler and less expensive.
2) Your data is too sparse or too inconsistent
- Without consistent lifecycle stages, activity tracking, or sufficient closed-won volume, the expected benefits from ML-assisted scoring may not materialize.
3) You require documented enterprise compliance immediately
- Because formal certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001) were not publicly documented in the materials reviewed, regulated buyers should select vendors that publish their compliance posture or can provide reports on request.
4) You require stable product ownership and immediate roadmap clarity
- Given the acquisition and planned transition to MadKudu, buyers should confirm ownership, roadmap, and support expectations before committing.
