What this function does
Conversational tools catch the buyer on the website: a chat, a bot that qualifies, a calendar that books the meeting with the right rep.
They sit on top of routing rules. If territories and ownership in the CRM are unclear, the meeting lands with the wrong person no matter how good the widget is.

What job descriptions ask for
Postings ask for inbound routing, meeting booking flows, and chatbot qualification rules, alongside lead management work.
How it shows up in the scores
Not a separate parser key. Intercom is listed under support in the parser prompt; the others land in whichever of the eleven keys fits, with other as the catch-all. Each still counts toward the tool total.
Every tool a posting names adds to its tool count, but the Franken-Stack score is not a tool count. It is a model judgment of how disconnected the stack is, with a written rationale. Read the bands or see how scored postings read today.
How often does Conversational appear in scored postings? The record counts tools per posting but does not yet store which category each tool falls in, so this page does not say, and does not rank the tools above.
