Executive Summary

Many mid-market and enterprise sales and marketing organizations are quietly losing and misattributing high-value leads as AI-driven funnels make automated routing and scoring decisions without reliable attribution; vendor and internal analyses suggest roughly 10–20% of qualified leads are misrouted or effectively "leaked" before revenue is captured. This problem scales across roughly 300,000 organizations—your target TAM—where a $120K ACV implies a $36.0B addressable market for tools that fix funnel leakage. A practical product is a human-in-loop attribution layer that integrates with CDPs and CRMs, flags low-confidence routing or attribution decisions, surfaces counterfactual explanations to sellers, and closes the loop by logging verified outcomes back into per-account fine-tuned models for rapid iteration. Key capabilities would include real-time uncertainty scoring, configurable escalation workflows, experiment orchestration to test counterfactuals, and dashboards that translate fixes into dollars recovered. This market is unusually receptive now: cookieless advertising and third-party signal loss make first-party funnel optimization a priority, affordable model fine-tuning enables per-account personalization at meaningful cost reductions, and maturing CDP/CRM APIs make closed-loop integrations feasible—hence the high market score (94/100) and strong revenue potential (88/100). With 300,000 mid-market and enterprise targets and measurable ROI tied to recovered pipeline, go-to-market economics are clear if you can demonstrate early wins. You can stand out by combining quantitative attribution with human judgment—delivering verifiable revenue uplift rather than opaque model outputs—but expect longer enterprise sales cycles, integration complexity, and the need to build trust through case studies and robust security/compliance practices.
