Lead Evaluation (Swiper)

Browse each lead's live site and decide in seconds: copy it to the pipeline or pass.

Overview

The Swiper panel is the triage stage. It loads each queued business's live website in a built-in browser, letting you quickly judge whether their existing site is a good candidate for a rebuild offer. You make one of three decisions per lead using keyboard shortcuts or buttons.

The Swiper Panel

The Swiper panel occupies the top-right area of the main window. It contains:

The Three Actions

ActionKeyboardButtonWhat Happens
Pass✗ PASSRejects the lead permanently. Moves to Rejected list. Never shown again.
Example★ EXAMPLEDownloads the site as a niche style reference. Not added to the pipeline. Used as a design inspiration source for AI when building demos.
Copy✓ COPYDownloads the site and adds it to the Active Sites Pipeline for full processing.

Use keyboard shortcuts — they're much faster than clicking when evaluating dozens of leads. Keep your left hand on the arrow keys.

What to Look for When Evaluating

You are looking for businesses with a poor existing website — one that a modern rebuilt version would clearly improve. Good candidates typically have one or more of:

Pass on sites that already look professional, are recently redesigned, or belong to businesses unlikely to buy (very large companies, national brands that slipped past the franchise filter).

The Example Action

When you press ★ EXAMPLE, the site is downloaded into the example_sites/ folder under a subdirectory named after the niche. For instance, a plumber example goes to example_sites/plumber/<slug>/.

When you later run the AI Demo step for a different lead, the Build from Scratch feature lets you select a niche to use for style reference — the AI reads example sites from that niche folder to understand what a polished site in that industry looks like.

Site Download Progress

When you press COPY (or EXAMPLE), a background download begins using Cyotek WebCopy. A progress bar appears at the bottom of the Swiper panel showing:

You do not need to wait for the download to finish before evaluating the next lead. Up to 3 downloads run simultaneously in the background.

ℹ️

Downloaded sites are saved to downloaded_sites/<slug>/. The slug is derived from the domain name (e.g., smithplumbing.comsmithplumbing).

After Copying — Moving to the Pipeline

Once the download completes, the site automatically appears as a new row in the Active Sites Pipeline below. The Demo step is ready to be run. From this point on, you work in the Pipeline panel.
