MAXAI  ·  PROFITABLE ARCHITECT
Engine · live data
Lead engine · built on the statutory register

Every one-person architecture practice in the UK that advertises extensions and lofts.

Not a bought list. The engine reads the ARB statutory register, works out which practices are genuinely one-person, then reads each practice's own website to see what work they actually sell. Every number on this page came out of a real run.

01 · The sweep

Start from the only complete list that exists

In the UK it is a criminal offence to call yourself an architect unless you are on the ARB register. So the register is not a list of architects, it is the list. The engine sweeps all of it, then narrows in four passes.

02 · The size filter

How the engine knows a practice is a one-man band

"Under £10k a month" is not a field you can buy anywhere. But there is a proxy hiding in plain sight, and it is exact.

You need a registered architect to trade as an architect. So a practice with exactly one architect on the register is, by definition, a one-person practice. Counting them is free, but only if you hold the whole register at once, which is why the engine sweeps all 6,053 pages instead of sampling a city.

Corroborated against Companies House: micro-entity accounts (turnover ceiling £632k, in practice far lower), single active director, and years trading.

03 · Service qualification

Read what they actually sell, in their own words

The engine crawls each practice's own website and scores the language. A practice only qualifies on evidence, and the evidence travels with the lead, so every row can be checked in one glance.

Live evidence, pulled from their sites

What the engine throws away. A conservation practice scored 93 on "Mansard roof extension to Grade II* Listed Townhouse" and "Kings Cross Western Ticket Hall Extension". That is heritage work on big buildings, not householder jobs. "Mansard" and "dormer" turned out to be heritage vocabulary as much as loft vocabulary, so they no longer qualify anyone on their own. 99 practices were cut by that one rule.
04 · The compliance gate

Sorted by what you are actually allowed to send

UK PECR treats sole traders as individual subscribers, and cold email to them needs consent, not just legitimate interest. Limited companies are corporate subscribers, where B2B email is lawful with a clear opt-out. Since the whole point of this list is one-person practices, that distinction decides the campaign. Every lead is checked against Companies House and gated before it reaches you.

Contact details are taken preferentially from each practice's own published website rather than the register itself, because the register's terms restrict commercial reuse. The email_source field records which route every address came from.

05 · The lead book

The engine's output, filterable

A 600-row slice of the 0 qualified practices, sampled across all four send tiers so the mix you see is the mix that exists. Ranked by sendability, then fit. Every row is real.

Full export carries 36 columns including the evidence sentence, PECR class, mailbox type, accounts category and a personalisation-safety flag.

06 · The economics

What the list is worth

Drag the assumptions. The engine has already done the expensive part, these are the only numbers left to argue about.

The list regenerates. The register updates continuously, so the engine can be re-run on a schedule and only surface practices that are new since last time.

07 · The enrichment agent

Read every practice, work out what is hard, match it to a client story

A qualified lead is a name and an email. What turns it into a conversation is knowing what this specific practice is probably struggling with, and having a story that matches. The agent reads their site and their socials, then writes a profile and a full nurture sequence off it. Below is a real one, from their real website.

Every pain has to be tied to something observed. The agent labels each one observed when the practice's own words support it, inferred when it follows from what is present or conspicuously absent, and guess when it is pattern-matching the segment. A guess is never dressed up as an observation, and the reviewer sees the label.

It is allowed to say no match.
08 · The approval gate

Nothing reaches a stranger without a human deciding

The system reads a stranger's website and writes to them in your name. So every profile and every sequence lands in an approvals queue, and approving one only moves the lead to queued. Sending stays a separate, deliberate action.

GatedTier C cannot be emailed

The compliance tier from section 04 is enforced here too, not just displayed. A tier C practice is a sole trader, so the server refuses to record an email to them at all and tells the rep to use LinkedIn instead.

Where this fits

Built, run, and reproducible

This is not a mock-up. The pipeline is six Python modules that swept 28,296 registrants, crawled 5,529 websites and cross-checked 2,595 practices against Companies House. Every page fetched is cached, so re-scoring the whole list against new rules takes seconds rather than another crawl.
