Tracker & Signals

Configure signal scoring

Signal scoring decides which events at your tracked companies count as signals and how strong each one is. You describe what to look for, how to sort what is found, and what makes a signal Priority 1, 2, or 3, or not relevant at all.

Good to know: the Signal Scoring page is the starting point for new trackers. When you create a tracker, it copies these settings; after that, each tracker keeps its own. To change an existing tracker, edit the signal settings of that tracker.

Where to find it

Click Signal Scoring in the sidebar. The Signals Configuration page has two tabs: Signals, where you edit the settings, and Signals History, which shows who changed a signal's priority, from what, and to what.

What you set

AI Prompts

  • Deep Research Prompt: what Signalist should look for at each company, for example expansion, new hires in a certain area, or partnerships. Be specific about what matters to your offer.
  • AI output language: the language of the signal summaries.

How signals are categorised

Each signal is sorted into one of three categories. Describe each so they do not overlap:

  • Lead updates: about the person, for example a new role or a relevant post.
  • Company updates: about the company, for example expansion, hiring, or a partnership.
  • Industry updates: about the market, technology, or regulation around the company.

Priority Definitions

Define Priority 1, Priority 2, Priority 3, and Disqualified. Each item has a title, a Definition, and Examples; you can drag items between priorities. In the Feed, these appear as S1, S2, S3, and DQ on each signal.

  • Keep Priority 1 for signals that give you a clear reason to reach out now.
  • Use Disqualified for what you never want to see, such as private posts, generic news, or unsupported claims.
  • Give examples of both what fits and what does not.

Test before you save

Click Test Configuration to run your settings on a sample. It takes 15 to 60 seconds and no credits are charged. Compare the categories and priorities with what you expected, change one thing at a time, and test again. Then save.

Correct signals in the Feed

If a signal in the Feed has the wrong priority, hover its score and choose a different one under Change signal score, or choose Ignore signal with a short note. Recurring mistakes are best fixed in the definitions and examples here, or in the tracker's own signal settings.

Troubleshooting

ProblemWhat to do
Changes here do not affect my trackerThis page is the template for new trackers. Edit the signal settings of the existing tracker.
Private or irrelevant posts become signalsAdd examples of them under Disqualified, and describe Lead updates as business-related only.
Company and Industry updates get mixed upCompany updates must be about the tracked company itself; Industry updates are about the wider market.
Too many signals are Priority 1Make the Priority 1 definition stricter and move borderline examples to Priority 2.

Frequently asked questions

Do changes here change my existing trackers?

No. They apply to trackers you create afterwards. Change an existing tracker in its own signal settings.

Does testing cost credits?

No. Test Configuration is free.

What is the difference between S1 and P1?

S1, S2, and S3 are signal priorities from these definitions. P1, P2, and P3 are lead scores from Lead Scoring. The Feed shows both, separately.

Where do I see who changed a signal's priority?

In the Signals History tab.
