How the readiness score works
Every lead carries a score from 0 to 100, built only from signals in the public record. Here is what moves it, and why each one matters to a parts supplier.
| Signal | Points | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| GST registered | +30 | Registering for GST on day one points to a business expecting real turnover — a workshop that means to trade, not a placeholder. |
| Company structure | +15 | A company, rather than a bare sole trader, usually means a larger set-up and a bigger first order. |
| Live website | +15 | A site already up means they are actively fitting out and open to suppliers now. |
| Serial operator | flag | The same owner holding several names is an expanding operator — the highest-value parts supplier customer you can reach. |

Questions
Which businesses count as automotive?
Mechanics, panel beaters, car washes, tyre shops, auto electricians and detailers. Software, automation and vehicle-hire names are filtered out.
Where does the data come from?
The ASIC Business Names register and the ASIC Company dataset, both published weekly as Australian Government open data, enriched with the Australian Business Register. We use it under CC BY 3.0 AU. We are not affiliated with ASIC or any government body.
How fresh is it?
The registers drop weekly. A new business appears in your briefing within days to a week of registering. We never claim a same-day feed we cannot deliver.
Do you include phone numbers or emails?
No. A business registered last week has no published contact details, and no provider can honestly supply them. Sole-trader details are personal information under the Privacy Act. We sell timing and curation, not a scraped contact list.
Can I cancel?
Any time, from your Stripe portal. No contract, no notice period, no cancellation fee.
