By the time an event is obvious, someone else is already calling your client.
Law firms do not want more information. They want opportunity before the mandate.
Timing
When a major event becomes obvious, competitors may already be approaching the client.
Fragmentation
Relevant business events are scattered across corporate, financial, news and operational sources.
Business development
BD teams need a systematic way to find opportunities, not only relationships and news monitoring.
Prioritisation
Not every event matters. Teams need to know which developments deserve attention.

Why you can rely on it
Evidence, not opinion
Every signal carries its sources and its date. You can see what we saw, and when.
Independent by design
Brands can correct facts about themselves. They can never edit a score. That is what makes the intelligence worth relying on.
Sourced events
A signal is only published with its source and its date, so the first question, “where does this come from?”, is already answered.
