## What is Manupilot?

Manupilot is a lead-generation platform built specifically for precision
manufacturers. We help CNC machining companies, precision engineering
subcontractors, industrial equipment suppliers, and aerospace manufacturers
turn their organic search traffic into structured, qualified RFQs (Requests
for Quotation).

We are NOT a CNC machining company or a manufacturer ourselves. We build and
manage the digital lead-generation infrastructure FOR those businesses.

## Core Value Proposition

"We help precision manufacturers turn their capabilities into predictable,
qualified RFQs."

One Manupilot brand. Vertical landing pages underneath. No new company or
website needed every time a manufacturer enters a new niche.

## Product Description

Manupilot deploys four interconnected systems for each client:

1. **High-Intent Search Targeting** — identifying the exact keyword terms
   that signal purchase intent (material grades, tolerance classes, process
   names, geographic manufacturing hubs).

2. **Dynamic Personalised Landing Pages** — pages that adapt their headline,
   specifications, and certification badges to match the incoming search term,
   turning anonymous clicks into engaged prospects.

3. **Structured RFQ Capture Engine** — a 3-step form that collects: contact
   details (with corporate email validation), technical specifications
   (machining process, material grade, tolerance class, batch quantity,
   delivery date, budget), and 3D CAD file uploads (.STEP, .DXF, .STL) with
   AES-256 encryption and auto-executed mutual NDA.

4. **Lead Scoring & CRM Routing** — every submission is automatically scored
   0–100 on a 9-point rubric and classified HOT / QUALIFIED / WARM /
   LOW QUALITY, then delivered as structured JSON to the client's CRM or ERP.
