Notes

• Decay rules are OU-scoped to the active Organizational Unit
• Decay is applied by the background worker on a schedule
• A lead's score will not drop below zero (unless negative scores are enabled in scoring settings)
• Use decay rules to ensure your highest-priority leads are truly active, not just historically engaged
