Prospect Build Sheet

Five steps from a public web page to a ranked list you'll actually work. Vet the source before you touch it, write down what a good prospect looks like, then let the sheet do the scoring. You still make every call about who's worth your morning.

Fill it in right here, it scores as you go. Use Download CSV or Print to keep your copy. Nothing you type is saved to a server, it lives in this browser tab only.

The five-step build

1

Vet the source

Before anything else: is it public, and do its terms allow this? Sixty seconds that saves your reputation.

2

Pull the roster

Point AI at the page you're already looking at and get structured rows out instead of a wall of text.

3

Enrich

The roster gives you names. Research fills in the fields that decide fit: size, footprint, asset mix.

4

Qualify

Apply your filters. Most rows should die here. A shorter list is the point, not a failure.

5

Rank and work it

Score what survived, sort it, and start at the top on Monday. A list you don't work is a hobby.

Step 1 · Can I use this platform?

You are licensed to look, not licensed to reproduce the database. Reading a result set you are entitled to see is what the subscription is for; walking the whole index into a file is what these agreements exist to stop. Run these checks once per platform and log the answer so you never do it twice.

1. What do the terms say?

Ctrl-F the terms for six words: robot, scrape, crawl, automated, data mining, artificial intelligence. One hit and you read that clause properly.

2. What does robots.txt say?

Add /robots.txt to the domain. Look for Disallow lines covering the pages you use, and for AI agents named directly.

3. Reading or harvesting?

One result set you filtered and were entitled to see is reading. Systematically capturing the whole index is not. Be honest about which.

4. Is my client data on screen?

Claude screenshots the tab and cannot filter what it sees. Use a separate browser profile with no client accounts signed in.

Verdict: Green

Public, no login, no anti-automation clause, no AI-bot block. Go, and stay on the pages you checked.

Verdict: Yellow / Red

Yellow: ambiguous, personal data, or you couldn't verify. Red: any explicit prohibition. Red means find another source.

The rule: you are responsible for what the tool does on your behalf. Anthropic says so in writing, and so does every platform's terms. The AI will happily do something you're not allowed to do. Knowing where that line sits is part of the job now.
The one that catches people: at least one very large CRE platform revised its terms in July 2026 to bar sharing passcodes with "any third-party AI services, including, without limitation, artificial intelligence agents," and separately bars exposing the product to outside AI tools. If that is your platform, none of this applies to it. Check your own before you run anything.

Row one is yours to fill in. Row two is the research source we use in step 3.

Step 2 · What does a good one look like?

You cannot qualify a list against a feeling. Write the filters down before you look at a single name, or you will talk yourself into the wrong prospects at 4pm on a Friday. Be specific enough that someone else could apply your filters and get your answer.

Size floor

The threshold below which it isn't worth your time. A number, not a vibe.

Geography

Your territory, or the markets where you can actually service the account.

Asset types

The property types where your offer actually fits. Everything else is a distraction.

Revenue range

She asks for this every time. It separates a name from an account worth servicing.

Headquarters

Global companies you cannot service well are a real disqualifier, not a nice-to-have.

Hard disqualifiers

The things that kill a row on sight, no matter how good it looks otherwise.

Why now

The trigger that makes this the month rather than someday. Optional, but it's what makes outreach land.

The one sentence

If you can't finish this sentence, the list won't save you.

Steps 3 to 5 · The build

One row per company. Fill in what the roster gave you, then let research fill the rest. Fit and Reach are 1 to 5; the sheet multiplies them into a score and sorts on it. Rows that fail a hard filter get marked Cut and drop out of the count, but stay visible so you remember you checked them.

Company Source HQ / market Asset type Portfolio Meets size? In geo? Asset fit? Why now (trigger) Who to reach Fit Reach Score Cut 1st

Score = Fit × Reach, out of 25. Anything with a hard No in the three filter columns should probably be Cut. Three sample rows are pre-filled to show the shape; clear them and use your own.

The prompts

Four moves, in order. Paste them into Claude in Chrome with the source page open, then into your regular chat for the enrichment and scoring passes. Swap the bracketed parts for your own filters from Step 2.

Source bank

Starting points by category, with an honest flag on each. Green means public with no anti-automation clause found. Yellow means check it yourself, terms are ambiguous or the data includes named individuals. Red means an explicit prohibition; don't. Verify before you rely on any of this, terms change and this was checked in August 2026.
