Is this post a buyer?

Paste any post from X. You get a score out of 100, what pushed it up, what pushed it down, and whether it is worth a reply. This is the same scoring Askline runs on every conversation it finds. No account, nothing sent, nothing posted.

How the score is read

ScoreWhat it means
80–100Answer today. A person, in the market, with a problem you solve.
55–79Worth a look. Real person, real problem, timing unclear.
35–54Watch. On topic but not buying. Follow, do not reply.
0–34Ignore. A joke, a job post, a vendor, or bait.

What actually raises a score

Concrete detail, every time. A named tool they are leaving, a team size, a deadline, a stated budget, a specific failure they hit this week. Those are the things a person only writes when the problem is real and current.

What does not count, however well it matches a keyword: jokes and sarcasm, job posts naming your competitor, vendor marketing, funding news, engagement bait, thought leadership about the category, resurfaced threads from last year, and giveaway spam. A keyword alert hands you all of them. A mention is not a buyer goes through the eight kinds in detail.

Do this on a whole category instead

Scoring posts one at a time is useful for calibration, not for finding customers. To see what a scored feed looks like, browse who is asking for software on X by category, or run it on your own offer — same scoring, applied to everything found in the last thirty days.

The method behind all of it is in the guide to finding buyers on X.
