Buying Signal Detection

Watches hiring, leadership changes, funding and technology moves, matches each event to an account, and puts the ones worth acting on in front of a rep.

Problem

Buying windows open and close unnoticed. A new VP arrives or a round lands, and the team hears about it after the budget is committed.

Solution

Events are captured with their source and evidence, matched to real CRM accounts, scored for relevance, and routed to the rep who owns the account.

02 Estimated impact

The value is timing: reaching an account while the trigger is still live, rather than months later when the decision is already made.

How this is calculated
  • This models revenue from timing on accounts you already knew about, not from new accounts.
  • Capping alert volume matters more than maximising it — an ignored feed is worth nothing.
  • A model from your inputs, not a measured result at your organisation.
