What the score means
One number out of 100, and the four things it is made of.
How to use it
- Open Market Intel
- Click the number in the Score column
- Read the four rows and the evidence behind each
- Tick your industries in Settings › Radar AI so fit tells companies apart
Until you tick industries, every company with a known industry gets the full 15 fit points, so fit cannot tell a good match from a poor one.
The four terms
A company's score is 35 points for what happened (funding, a launch, a hire), 25 for how many other customers saved it, 25 for how recent that is, and 15 for whether it fits what you sell to. Nothing else moves it.
Read the evidence, not the number
Clicking the score opens the four rows with the evidence behind each, including the link the event came from. A number you cannot explain is a number you cannot act on, so the workings are always one click away.
How fit works
The fit term needs your industries. A company whose industry is on your list gets all 15 points, and one that isn't gets none. With nothing ticked, every company with a known industry gets the full 15, so the term can't separate a good match from a poor one. A company whose industry hasn't been identified scores zero on fit either way.
How each part is worked out
What happened: a funding round earns the full 35, hiring 90% of it, a product launch 60%, a feature update 40% and anything else 15%. How many customers saved it rises quickly at first and reaches the full 25 at ten workspaces, so one viral post can't bury every quiet company. How recent: those 25 points halve every 14 days, with no cliff where a company suddenly drops off. Fit is all or nothing.
A worked example
A company announces funding. Your workspace is the only one that saved the post, it's two days old, and the company's industry is on your list. That's 35 for the event, about 7 for one workspace, about 23 for recency and 15 for fit: 80. A month after the post, with nothing new, recency has fallen to about 6 and the same company scores 63.
Which post sets the number
A company's score comes from its single best-scoring post, and the breakdown shows that post. The customers part counts saves, so a post that was only scrolled past, never saved, gets nothing there. Scores of 60 and up are highlighted in the list, and the weekly brief ranks companies by the same number.
Common questions
Why did a company's score drop when nothing happened?
Recency. Those 25 points halve every 14 days, so a company with no new posts slides down the list on its own.
Does saving a company myself raise its score?
A little. Your save counts your workspace once in the customers part.
Can other customers see that I saved a company?
No. Other workspaces only ever get a count of how many workspaces saved a post, never which ones, and they only see companies their own people saved or scrolled past.
Is a high score a buying signal?
It's a way to decide who to look at first, not proof that anyone is buying. Read the evidence behind it before you write to anyone. Ideal customer profile explains how to make fit count.
