I'm a solo developer from Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪

For months I watched agency owners make the same mistake —
sending Calendly to every DM inquiry and wasting 15 hours/week
on calls that never converted.

So I built LeadVett.

Not a form. A decision engine.

Here's how it works:

Lead fills a 60-second intake instead of booking your calendar
AI analyzes budget, urgency, authority, and pain signals in 10 seconds
You get a full verdict:

🔥 GOLD 89% → Book call within 2 hours
⚡ SILVER 64% → Send screening Loom first
🥉 BRONZE 42% → Add to 90-day nurture
⛔ DISQUALIFIED → Never reaches your calendar

The engine doesn't just score — it gives you:

Close probability (78% likelihood of conversion)
Signal breakdown (why they scored that way)
Recommended next action
Pre-written DM closing script

Built with Next.js, Supabase, and GPT-4.
Payments via Dodo Payments (the only provider that works easily from Kenya).

Launched 7 days ago. Zero marketing budget.

Live at leadvett.com — 3-day free trial, no card needed.

Would love brutal feedback from the DEV community 🙏

What would you build differently?
