CR8 field tool / 01 / signal intelligence
where buyers confess before they take a sales call.
Every industry leaves a public trail of pain, urgency and change. This library maps the sources, decodes what a signal means, and shows the first move. One sharp source beats a thousand vague leads.

a usable signal source clears all five.
If it fails one, it’s research. If it clears all five, it can become a repeatable way to know who needs you now.
dated
You can tell when it happened. Freshness is urgency.
structured
It can be captured, compared and acted on reliably.
frequent
It changes weekly or faster, not once a quarter.
causal
The event actually creates the purchase, not just a correlation.

your industry isn’t here?
find one source. not fifty.
Start with where this buyer spends, hires, gets regulated or breaks in public. Then be strict: a weak score is a research project, not a signal loop.
Useful prompts: What does their hiring reveal? What deadline forces action? What changes on their stack or website? What do they publish when something fails?
