Qualify inbound speaking requests by evaluating audience size, ICP alignment, host credibility, and payment status to decide whether to escalate the opportunity to the founder.

Assess podcast invites by checking audience size, brand-host alignment, topic relevance, and whether the request is paid to ensure only high-signal opportunities reach the founder.

Draft a polite decline for low-fit speaking invitations by queuing an approval-based response that safely rejects unapproved participation or mishandled paid requests without damaging brand positioning.

Provide the sender name, show or event name, estimated audience size, topic, format, and payment status to process a speaking or podcast invitation and generate the appropriate routing decision.

Automate the approval workflow by flagging qualified opportunities with a research brief and drafting a holding response that promises follow-up, routing only high-signal options for founder approval.

Do not escalate speaking requests when they fail audience or ICP alignment checks, lack host credibility, or involve sensitive unapproved participation, triggering a queued decline instead.
