LLM lead scoring prompts optimized by reducing data fields

A technical note explores optimizing LLM prompts for lead qualification by reducing the number of fields provided to the model. The author argues that prompts only need decision-relevant evidence, such as category, reputation, and contact information, rather than all available data fields. This approach aims to reduce token costs and improve efficiency by separating identity and provenance information, which should be managed by the application, from the data used for the LLM's decision-making process.
