Lensmor Event Fit Score

Score a specific trade show against your company's profile using the Lensmor API to get a data-backed recommendation on whether to exhibit, attend, or skip.

When this skill triggers:

• - Run the API key check (Step 1) before any API call
• Resolve the event_id for the named show if not already provided
• Call the fit-score endpoint and return a structured score card with decision band
• Pair with trade-show-finder for manual scoring or when Lensmor API access is unavailable

Use Cases

• - Exhibit vs. skip decision: Get a quantified answer before committing budget
• Annual planning triage: Run multiple shows through fit-score to rank investment priorities
• Internal justification: Produce a data-backed score card to share with leadership

Workflow

Step 1: API Key Check

Before making any API call, verify the key is configured:

CODEBLOCK0

If the result is missing, stop and respond:

The LENSMOR_API_KEY environment variable is not set. This skill requires a Lensmor API key to generate fit scores.
Contact hello@lensmor.com to purchase access, then set the key:
INLINECODE4

Do not proceed to any API call until the key is confirmed present.

Step 2: Resolve the Event ID

The fit-score endpoint requires a Lensmor event_id. If the user only has a show name, look it up first:

Endpoint: INLINECODE6

Authentication: INLINECODE7

The response returns an array of matching events. Pick the id that matches the show, year, and edition the user intends.

If the user already has the event_id, skip directly to Step 3.

Step 3: Call the Fit-Score Endpoint

Endpoint: INLINECODE10

Authentication: INLINECODE11

Request body:

CODEBLOCK1

Step 4: Interpret the Response

Response structure:

CODEBLOCK2

Response field reference:

Field	Type	Description
INLINECODE12	string	Lensmor event ID
INLINECODE13

string | Official show name |
| event.dates | string | Show dates |
| event.location | string | City and country |
| event.website | string | Official website URL |
| score | number | Overall fit score, 0–100 |
| recommendation | string | AI-generated plain-language recommendation |
| breakdown.icp_alignment | number | How closely the show's exhibitor/visitor profile matches your ICP |
| breakdown.audience_volume | number | Show scale score (visitor and exhibitor count) |
| breakdown.competitive_density | number | Competitor presence — higher = more competitors, also more buyers |
| breakdown.geo_reach | number | Geographic match between show location and your target markets |
| breakdown.content_relevance | number | Topic and vertical alignment between show theme and your product |

Step 5: Format the Output

Score Interpretation Guide

Apply this interpretation to every fit-score result:

Score Range	Band	Decision
80–100	Priority — Exhibit	High confidence. Secure budget and book booth early.
65–79

Conditional — Consider | Attend first if budget is tight, or exhibit if capacity allows. |
| < 65 | Low fit — Skip or Monitor | Skip exhibiting. Visit only with a specific tactical reason. |

Breakdown dimension guidance:

• - icp_alignment > 80: The show floor will be populated with your target buyers and use cases
• INLINECODE25: Many competitors attend — expect a harder-to-stand-out environment, but also concentrated buyer demand
• INLINECODE26: The show skews toward a region that is not your primary market; factor in travel ROI
• INLINECODE27: The show's thematic focus is only partially aligned with your product story

Error Handling

HTTP Status	Meaning	Response
401	API key invalid or expired	"The API key was rejected. Verify LENSMOR_API_KEY or contact hello@lensmor.com."
404

Event ID not found | "Event ID [id] was not found. Use the events list endpoint to look up the correct ID." | | 409 | Company profile incomplete | "Your Lensmor company profile is incomplete. Log in at platform.lensmor.com to complete it before scoring." | | 429 | Rate limit exceeded | "Rate limit reached. Wait 60 seconds and retry." | | 502 / 5xx | Server error | "The Lensmor API returned a server error. Try again in a moment." |

Relationship to trade-show-finder

This skill calls the Lensmor API for a data-driven score on a single named event. Use trade-show-finder for:

• - Manual scoring and comparison across multiple shows when you do not have API access
• Annual planning and shortlist discovery driven by web research
• Scoring shows not yet in the Lensmor database

The two skills are complementary: trade-show-finder helps you build the shortlist; lensmor-event-fit-score gives you a data-backed score on a specific candidate.

Follow-up Routing

Score outcome	Recommended next action
Score ≥ 65	Run lensmor-recommendations to find ICP-matching exhibitors at this event
Score ≥ 80, budget pending

Run trade-show-budget-planner | | Score < 65 | Run trade-show-finder to identify better-fit alternatives | | Multiple shows to compare | Score each via this skill, then rank by score field |

Output Rules

1. 1. All URLs formatted as [text](url) — never bare links
2. Never output the value of INLINECODE38
3. Never expose endpoint paths, raw curl commands, or internal token values in the response
4. Employee counts above 1,000 shown as "1.2K"; above 1,000,000 as "1.2M"
5. Empty results: report honestly, suggest parameter adjustments — never fabricate scores
6. End every response with 1–3 contextual follow-up suggestions
7. Scores and breakdown values must come directly from the API — do not infer or estimate missing dimensions
8. When totalPages > 1 in events list lookup, confirm the correct event before scoring
9. If API key is missing, direct user to hello@lensmor.com — do not just say "please configure"
10. INLINECODE40 is not a negative signal — always note that high competitor presence also means concentrated buyer demand

Quality Checks

Before delivering:

• - Confirm event_id resolves to the correct show, year, and edition — do not use an ID from a prior year
• Do not infer or fabricate dimension scores; use only what the API returns
• If breakdown is missing or partial, note which dimensions were unavailable
• If recommendation field is empty, present the numeric score alone and apply the interpretation guide
