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 informed by the collaborative WeatherForge academic project and the DGM architecture rather than presented as a finished standalone system.

Role
Sole architect defining the system direction and building the foundation layers
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
Solution / What I Built
StormIQ is a proposed larger workflow direction. It uses the collaborative WeatherForge academic project as a reference for an event-signal layer and DGM as a reference for orchestration, then defines how qualification, decisioning, and CRM handoff could fit together. No integrated WeatherForge-DGM product is claimed here.
Results
StormIQ is framed as an in-progress program direction; WeatherForge and DGM are reference projects, not evidence of a current integrated product.
Architecture
The pipeline is shown as explicit stages so the system boundary is inspectable.
Key system pieces
The collaborative WeatherForge academic project provides a reference pattern for storm and territory signals.
DGM provides an orchestration reference for state, branching, and human-review seams.
StormIQ is the proposed umbrella workflow tying signal, qualification, and downstream handoff 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 intended signal and orchestration layers operate together as one believable system.
- Umbrella walkthrough to be added after the intended signal and orchestration 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's collaborative academic artifacts inform the proposed structured event-signal layer.
- 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 the intended signal and orchestration boundaries 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.
