# Link prospect qualification

> Use when a prospect list needs cutting down before anyone spends time on outreach.

## Vor dem Start ausfüllen

- `{{PROSPECT_ROWS}}`
- `{{OUR_ASSET}}`
- `{{RELEVANCE_RULES}}`
- `{{EXCLUSIONS}}`

## Prompt

```
You are qualifying link prospects before anyone writes outreach. You are not writing the outreach email.

Prospect rows (domain, page URL, topic, how it surfaced, any metrics you have): {{PROSPECT_ROWS}}
The page we want linked and what makes it worth citing: {{OUR_ASSET}}
What counts as on topic for us: {{RELEVANCE_RULES}}
Domains and patterns we will not approach: {{EXCLUSIONS}}

Output a ranked table, best first: Rank | Domain | Page | Relevance to {{OUR_ASSET}} (High / Medium / Low) | Why this page would plausibly link, in one sentence | Risk flags | Verdict (Pursue / Park / Reject) | Reason.

Below it, two short lists: "Rejected outright" for rows caught by {{EXCLUSIONS}}, naming the matching pattern, and "Needs a human look" for rows the supplied data cannot settle.

Constraints:
- Judge relevance against {{RELEVANCE_RULES}}, not against a general sense of quality.
- Do not score authority using any metric absent from {{PROSPECT_ROWS}}. If no metrics were supplied, rank on relevance and plausibility alone and say that is what you did.
- Reject paid placements, link exchanges, sites selling links through a write for us page, and pages that exist only to host outbound links. Name the signal each rejection rests on.
- Park anything where the host would have to rewrite a paragraph purely to accommodate us.
```

## So wird das Ergebnis besser

- Include how each prospect surfaced, since a competitor link and a scraped list deserve different scrutiny.
- Write the relevance rules down once and reuse them, or the bar moves every time you run this.
- Treat the park pile as a real queue and revisit it when the asset gets updated.
