I would say it depends mostly on your scoring model and your sales cycle. If you work off a scoring model of 100 = qualified, and say a lead gets roughly 10 points per form submission, then you'd make your decay model set accordingly. Likewise, if it's not uncommon for your sales cycle to take a long period of time, don't decay your score unless they go beyond the norm. Overall, I like the setup you've proposed, but I also see value in maintaining a singular score that allows for negative scores as well as positive, from a simplicity standpoint. I could see reps getting confused easily if they have multiple scores they need to be looking at to determine who is hot and who is not. It's very much a by-organization decision, but if what you proposed works for you, then that's awesome. That's just my two cents.
