Intent · Scoring · Routing

Find the committee while it is still deciding.

By the time a form fill arrives, most of the decision is made. Intent signals, scored properly and routed fast, are how you enter the deal while it is still a conversation, not a conclusion.

The scoring problem

Intent data is a subscription most teams pay to ignore.

The tooling exists. The signals exist. What is usually missing is the system: scores nobody trusts because they were set once and never audited, alerts that arrive after the moment has passed, and a sales team that stopped looking months ago. Signal without routing is trivia. Routing without trust is noise.

Stale models

A scoring model is a hypothesis about what predicts revenue. Most were written once, by someone who left, and have never been checked against closed deals.

Slow signal

Intent decays in days. A weekly digest of last week’s surging accounts is a history lesson, not a sales motion.

The newest surface

Buyers now surface intent by asking AI engines who to consider. Presence in those answers is an intent surface most scoring models have never heard of.

What we run

Signal to score to meeting, closed loop.

Every model audited against outcomes. Every alert priced by speed. Every quarter, the loop tightens.
