Market intelligence

The BD team reads one email instead of scrolling LinkedIn for three hours

400 target accounts monitored nightly across Companies House, LinkedIn, trade press, and hiring boards. Signals are scored and summarised into a single 7am brief.

The problem

Consulting and professional services firms pay senior people to spot triggers, a new CFO, a funding round, a hiring spree, a regulatory filing. That signal-spotting happens in 30 browser tabs, most of it never gets captured, and it's the first thing to drop when delivery gets busy. Result: the BD team hears about the right trigger a week after a competitor pitched on it.

The system

A nightly monitoring pipeline across four data sources. Every account has its own signal profile (person changes, financial events, hiring patterns, content themes). Raw events are de-duplicated, scored against a buying-intent rubric, and shipped as a prioritised morning brief with direct pitch angles per account.

How it runs

The workflow, end to end.

01

Source ingestion

Companies House filings API, LinkedIn via authenticated scraping, trade press RSS + scraping, and hiring boards (Indeed, LinkedIn Jobs, client careers pages).

02

Entity resolution

Each event is resolved to a canonical account in the CRM. Duplicate and near-duplicate events across sources collapse into one record.

03

Signal scoring

An LLM grades each event on urgency, buying relevance, and angle strength. Scores tune over time from BD team thumbs-up/down feedback.

04

Morning brief

A ranked digest is generated at 6am: top 10 accounts, the specific signal, suggested opener, and a link to the source. Delivered to Slack + email.

05

CRM write-back

High-signal events are logged against the account in the CRM with the source URL, score, and suggested next action.
