Saturday January third and the focus was clear: make the leads system actually useful for the sales team by adding email campaigns and lead scoring, while also pushing the multistate version into shape.
On ca-retirement-leads I shipped three commits that basically rewrote the app's capability. The big one was email campaigns with lead scoring and service provider display. That's over 3,400 lines added across 14 files, covering the full stack. The backend got email campaign tables via an alembic migration, new models, a company scoring service, a campaigns router, and a seed script for email templates. The frontend got a new Campaigns page, layout updates, and wiring into the app. The idea is simple: segment leads, score them, and email providers without leaving the platform. I also pushed a fix for the Scheduler page's API response handling, which was causing the UI to misbehave when the backend shape changed. 12 lines in, 9 out, but it matters because the scheduler is where people start.
Then I tackled email verification and company-contact linking along with production deployment prep. That was the heavy lift: 82,000 lines across 29 files. I won't pretend that number is elegant. It includes a lot of scaffolding, configuration, and docs. The real features were the email verification endpoint, company-contact linking, and the config/database updates needed to run this for real instead of just locally. I wrote up EMAIL_VERIFICATION.md, IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md, and QUICK_START.md so the next person wouldn't have to reverse-engineer it.
On `ca-retirement-leads` I shipped three commits that basically rewrote the app's capability.
On multistate-retirement-leads I made one commit adding multistate support, the Human Interest theming, and comprehensive docs. That's a smaller footprint, 619 lines across 13 files, but it matters because the multistate version is the one that serves a different segment of the business. I updated the models, the companies router, the LLM enrichment service, the frontend layout and CSS, and the config. The docs got an ARCHITECTURE.md writeup so the structure isn't just in my head.
The pattern here is the same as the last few weeks: build the feature, then deal with the stuff around it that makes it actually usable. Scoring, verification, deployment prep, docs. It's unsexy work but it's what separates a demo from something a team can run.
Also today: updating the .env.example, README files, and tailwind config across both repos so they don't drift from reality.
Two repos, four commits. The campaigns system is the headline, but the verification and multistate updates are what make the whole thing hold together.
