4/4 ICP fit. Soft Touch's stated ICP is "higher-end homes needing packing + moving. Long-distance moves for max revenue. Wants more Indianapolis and Bloomington local jobs (currently getting too many low-budget enquiries who can't afford movers)." This is a textbook OpenAI Ads opportunity - the channel filters for higher-intent, research-stage buyers who self-qualify before clicking, which directly addresses the stated lead-quality problem.

Strategic context (per profile): Soft Touch was the WORST AI performer of all 9 OO clients in Phase 1 audit (33/100, 90-day rebuild needed). This is the textbook ADS-FIRST scenario from the decision-memo matrix: low organic strength + good budget fit + need leads now = run ads while organic rebuilds in parallel.

4. Budget + CPL simulator

Break-even CPL: $219 (need ~5.7 customers/month). Worst-case CPL is $62.50, well under.

5. Tier-1 ad-funder context (per memory)

Per OO internal categorisation, Soft Touch is a Tier-1 ad-funder along with Elite Movers. This means John has the budget appetite and the strategic posture to fund ChatGPT ads as a pilot channel. Combined with the stated lead-quality problem and the worst-of-9 organic position, this is the strongest mover candidate to use as OO's first paid Model B retainer when waitlist clears.

6. Recommendation

GO. Soft Touch is one of the strongest first-launch candidates in the OO portfolio.

Reasoning: 4/4 ICP fit, 3-4/4 LP score, worst-case ROI of 2.50x. Stated lead-quality problem (too many low-budget enquiries) is exactly what ad targeting filters for. Weak organic position + Tier-1 ad budget appetite = ADS-FIRST scenario from the decision matrix is the right play. Strong trust stack (BBB A+, 30k moves, 40+ years) reads well to ChatGPT-research-stage buyers.

Conditions: install OAIQ SDK; build separate prompt clusters for Indianapolis vs Bloomington (different markets); lead with "no junk leads, only quality jobs" creative angle directly answering John's stated pain; track close-rate-by-ticket-size carefully in first 30 days to validate the lead-quality filter is working.

7. Top 3 actions before launch

Next step: position Soft Touch as the OO Model B retainer launch candidate when advertiser waitlist clears. Tier-1 funder, weak organic, strong fit
