From the partner
A comprehensive specification and scoring engine for evaluating podcast guests on a 0-100 scale, designed to match guests with podcasts based on their perceived value to hosts rather than vanity metrics. The system evaluates guests across four weighted dimensions:
Authority (35%): Professional role, company credibility, media presence
Influence (30%): Social reach, engagement rates, audience quality
Performance (25%): Podcast appearance history, promotion behavior, profile completeness
Professionalism (10%): Website quality, branding trust signals, presentation
Key technical components:
Multi-API enrichment pipeline (Apollo for professional data, ListenNotes for podcast history, PhantomBuster for social metrics, GPT-4 for subjective analysis)
Non-additive penalty model preventing score gaming
Tier-based matching (Emerging → Established → Respected → Sought-After)
Anti-gaming safeguards with red flag triggers and score suppression logic
Actionable improvement pathways with personalized coaching notes
Airtable serves as the central data store, with Zapier automations and Go HighLevel CRM integration for user communication and tagging based on score tiers.
