Technical sales qualification · Specialty chemicals

The answer your rep spends all day finding. Drafted in forty seconds.

GRADE reads an inbound technical inquiry, screens your full catalogue against its hard constraints, ranks what survives, and drafts the reply. Your rep reviews, edits, and sends.

Hard constraints left to AI judgment
Product

A decision system with an audit trail — not a chatbot.

Hard limits are enforced as database filters, not model guesses. The AI only ranks what survives, and everything it asserts carries a receipt.

Deterministic screening

Regulatory ceilings, particle-size limits, chemistries — applied as filters. Every elimination returns a one-line reason your chemist can check.

Verbatim provenance

Every extracted number traces to the exact sentence on the technical data sheet it came from. If a value has no source line, it is never stored.

Unknowns flagged, never passed

Missing data on a constrained field routes the product to a rep, never silently through the screen. Guessing is a failure mode we test against.

Learning from outcomes

Every approved reply is logged against what was actually sold — so recommendations sharpen on your catalogue, and only yours.

How it works

Five stages. One human decision at the end.

1

Read

Extracts the stated requirements from the inquiry — never assumed ones.

2

Match

Searches your portfolio, data sheets and application notes.

3

Screen

Applies spec and regulatory limits deterministically, with reasons.

4

Rank

Orders surviving grades with confidence and technical rationale.

5

Draft

Writes the reply and sample request. Your rep reviews, edits, approves.

GRADE drafts. The rep approves.

Human approval is the product, not a limitation. Your team keeps the relationship, the voice, and the send button — GRADE removes the unpaid research in front of every quote.

Security & data

Your data stays yours. Every decision stays auditable.

Written into the agreement, not promised in a slide.

Isolation
  • Your catalogue and inquiries live in your own tenant.
  • Never used to serve or train for any other customer without written consent.
  • Returned or deleted within 30 days of exit.
The pilot touches no internal systems
  • Runs on published data sheets plus pasted inquiry text.
  • No CRM hook, no ERP integration, no IT review required to start.
  • Deeper integration is an expansion conversation, after it has earned it.
Pilot

Ninety days. One business unit. A number we agree on first.

How it runs
  • 90 days from data delivery, one business unit, named users.
  • Fixed pilot fee, half on start, half at day 45 — credited against year one if you convert.
  • Success metric written before day one: top-3 accuracy, turnaround time, drafts approved.
What we need from you
  • Your published catalogue — we load it before the first call.
  • Fifty closed inquiries where you already know what was sold.
  • One hour with a technical rep, every two weeks.

// We score the fifty and report the accuracy number either way — including if it's bad.

Contact

Demos are guided — with us, on your catalogue.

Fifteen minutes. We load your published products before the call and run three of your typical inquiries live. No self-serve sandbox, no forms — a working session with a person.
