OCTION / LABS
Internal · Lead Engine · 2026-07-21
The lead engine is built.
Here is what we need from you.
Verification, sizing, and scraping are live on sales.oction.agency. Four items below unlock the last pieces; three are decisions, one is a signup. Everything else runs without you.
Already live, nothing needed
Done
- All ~8,400 leads: link, phone, Maps, and social verification running (append-only trail, evidence links, verify filters).
- Company-size organization: 106 org-scale leads moved to the Enterprise section by sector rule, fully logged; the scraper sizes new leads automatically.
- Staff-size signals from public team pages and logged-out LinkedIn company pages (no login walls, no person profiles).
- Admin Scrape page with quarantine-first imports, CASL suppression gate, and the $75 CAD per-job hard cap enforced in code.
- Email verification integration coded and armed; it activates itself the moment the API key file appears.
What we need

1. MillionVerifier account + key

2. Apify billing ceiling
- Log into console.apify.com/billing (account exists; key already on the keeper).
- Confirm the plan (Starter, $29 USD/mo) and set the monthly usage limit: recommended $50 to $100 USD.
- Tell Lucius the number you set so the scrape screen reflects the real account ceiling. The $75 CAD per-job cap is already enforced regardless.

3. Three yes/no decisions
| Decision | Recommendation |
|---|
| Scheduled re-checks (launchd timer re-verifies links every 90 days automatically) | Yes; it is read-only and cheap. Until approved, re-runs stay manual. |
| LinkedIn company-size scraping via a paid Apify actor (real employee ranges at scale) | Hold. Logged-out public checks are running now; the paid actor sits closer to the platform-terms line. |
| Person-level enrichment (owner names/titles beyond what a business publishes itself) | Out for now, per the quarantine rule; revisit after first clients close. |
Anyone admin
4. First scrape run
- Portal: sales.oction.agency/admin/scrape (admin nav: Scrape).
- Pick a niche and city, keep the estimate under $75 CAD, type the estimate to confirm, launch.
- Raw output quarantines first; only new, non-suppressed businesses import, pre-sized into the right section.
Running cost once live
| Item | Cost (USD) |
|---|
| Apify Starter + scrape usage (2 to 4 runs/mo) | $49 to $129 / mo |
| MillionVerifier credits | $39 one-time, then ~$20 / mo |
| Everything else (validators, checks, assistants, compute) | $0 |
Roughly $75 to $150 USD per month all-in (about $100 to $200 CAD). Per-scrape spend is hard-capped at $75 CAD in code. Vendor prices are USD estimates from public pricing pages; confirm at checkout.
