Problem
Lead generation teams lose momentum when signal detection, qualification, call handling, and CRM handoff are split across disconnected tools and manual follow-up.
R&D case study
StormIQ
Broader lead-automation direction being built on top of WeatherForge and DGM rather than treated as a finished standalone system.

Role
Sole architect defining the system direction and building the foundation layers
Solution / What I Built
StormIQ is the larger workflow direction these systems support. WeatherForge is being built as the event-signal layer, DGM is being built as the orchestration layer, and StormIQ brings those layers together with qualification, decisioning, and CRM handoff so the final workflow is reviewable instead of brittle.
Results
StormIQ is now framed as a serious in-progress program direction, with WeatherForge and DGM acting as the concrete systems under active development
Architecture
The pipeline is shown as explicit stages so the system boundary is inspectable.
Key system pieces
WeatherForge is the upstream signal engine for storm and territory relevance.
DGM is the orchestration layer for state, branching, and human-review seams.
StormIQ is the umbrella workflow tying signal, qualification, and downstream handoff together.
Core constraint
System coherence: the umbrella workflow has to stay honest about what is real today while still defining how signal, orchestration, and downstream actions will fit together

Applied Relevance
Where the pattern matters
- Workflow analysis
- Operational software design
- Prototype planning
- System architecture review
Proof Surfaces
Available artifacts are labeled directly. Missing visuals stay as placeholders until real screenshots are added.
System Walkthrough (to be added)
In progressA full StormIQ walkthrough is intentionally deferred until the WeatherForge and DGM layers are mature enough to show as one believable system.
- Umbrella walkthrough to be added after the core WeatherForge and DGM flows are operating together.
- Current proof is the system direction and architecture boundary, not a finished product claim.
Architecture / Flow
Available nowThe architecture direction is real now: a system composed of upstream signal handling, orchestration, validation, and downstream delivery.
- WeatherForge feeds structured event signals into the broader workflow.
- DGM handles state, branching, and reviewable orchestration.
- StormIQ binds signal, qualification, and CRM handoff into one operator-facing system.
Operational Surfaces
Available nowThe intended system surfaces are explicit even though the full proof set is still being assembled.
- Signal review and qualification checks before downstream action.
- Orchestration state visibility instead of hidden agent-only logic.
- CRM and follow-up handoff as a first-class workflow output.
Artifacts & Evidence (to be added)
In progressArtifacts will be added as the underlying systems stabilize. This page is ready for them without pretending they already exist.
- Updated umbrella architecture diagram to be added after WeatherForge and DGM artifacts are finalized.
- End-to-end workflow evidence to be added once the integrated path is running reliably.
Limitations
What this does not claim
- This page describes the current proof available for the project.
- Additional screenshots, logs, or usage artifacts should be added before making stronger claims.
Next Improvements
Reasonable next steps
- Add stronger screenshots or walkthrough artifacts.
- Document validation checks and edge cases more completely.
- Tighten public write-up as the system matures.
