Reddit Lead Scorecard Template
A scorecard turns Reddit posts from messy links into reviewable opportunities your team can rank, route, and safely reply to.

SCORECARD
Scoring dimensions
Score every Reddit post across the same dimensions: buyer pain, product fit, urgency, current workaround, competitor context, thread freshness, and reply risk.
A consistent scorecard prevents the loudest post or newest alert from automatically becoming the next sales action.
A practical 0-100 rubric
Give up to 25 points for intent strength, 20 for ICP fit, 20 for urgency, 15 for reply potential, 10 for subreddit quality, and 10 for freshness.
Posts above 75 deserve fast review. Posts between 50 and 75 need human judgment. Anything below 50 should usually become research, not outreach.
Example scoring cases
A buyer asking for alternatives to a competitor with a deadline and a clear use case should score high. A broad opinion thread mentioning the same category should score much lower.
The point is not to make scoring feel scientific. It is to make the review decision repeatable enough that a team can trust the queue.
Disqualification rules
Subtract heavily for students, hobby-only threads, freebie seekers, vendor bait, stale posts, locked discussions, or communities where a commercial reply would be unsafe.
A scorecard is strongest when it helps your team skip bad-fit posts as confidently as it surfaces strong ones.
Team review process
Use the score to choose the next action: reply now, route to an owner, save for later, archive, or enrich with more context.
Leadline keeps the post, score, labels, status, and reply workflow connected so the decision does not disappear into a spreadsheet.
FAQ
What score makes a Reddit lead worth replying to?
Most teams should review posts above 50 and prioritize posts above 75, but the final decision should still consider subreddit rules and reply risk.
Should Reddit lead scoring be fully automated?
No. Automation should sort the queue and explain why a post matters. A human should still decide whether the reply belongs in the thread.
