Anti-Fragile take

Buying signals are not intent scores from a vendor dashboard. They are specific, verifiable events tied to your ICP: a new RevOps hire, a privacy-policy rewrite, a funding round, a competitor displacement post. Generic "surge in research activity" is noise dressed as signal.

The best signals are niche, fresh, and evidence-backed. A rep should be able to click through to the source and write a first line from it.

Why it matters

Timing is half of outbound. Signals tell you when to reach out and what to say. Without them, you are guessing at readiness.
