What we have learned watching companies change. Written by us, about patterns, not about any particular company.
Buying window patterns
Sales-led to product-led
The pricing page loses its demo gate, then someone gets hired to own activation. That order matters.
Moving upmarket
Security pages, SSO, and an account executive job posting in the same quarter.
Replacing infrastructure
A tag disappears. That is a decision someone had to defend in a meeting.
Building a lifecycle function
A head of lifecycle gets hired, and buys their tooling in the first quarter.
Expanding sales capacity
Funding, then three sales hires, then a CRM. The first seller has no playbook.
Method
Why stacked signals lie
Three unrelated facts about a company can be arranged to look like a story. That is the main failure mode of signal scoring.
What a buying window is not
It is not a score, not a fit, and not a person visiting your pricing page.
How we measure whether any of this works
A slice of every account's budget runs three dumber versions of the same idea.
