Buyer fit

Voice AI, appointment setting, GoHighLevel, lead routing, bookings, confirmations, and recovery paths when the call outcome is ambiguous.

2. ValidateCheck phone, email, booking time, outcome, and idempotency key before touching CRM records.
3. RouteMap booked, reschedule, no-show, not-qualified, and human-handoff outcomes to separate paths.
4. GHL ActionCreate or update contact, opportunity, calendar event, note, tag, and internal task.
