✦ Strategic Success Analysis

The Demand IQ Moat
Choose Demand IQ over static lead forms if your bottleneck is high-intent CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost) and lead-qualification speed rather than just total lead volume.
The SolarGenix Moat
Choose SolarGenix over Aurora Solar if your bottleneck is Design Speed. While Aurora remains the gold standard for high-complexity manual engineering, SolarGenix is the winner for high-velocity residential teams who need to move from 'Lead' to 'Permit' in the same day.

Operational Friction: Migrating from Demand IQ to SolarGenix requires mapping 2026 API lead-attribution hooks and ensuring zero data latency during the switch.
