# Investor Intelligence

> A specialized lens designed for VC and PE deal sourcing.

The **Investor Intelligence** lens transforms SignalArk from a sales tool into a powerful deal-sourcing engine for Venture Capital and Private Equity firms. It detects investment-grade signals to help you identify high-growth companies before they hit the mainstream radar.

## Core Signal Families

The investor lens focuses on 8 distinct, high-value signal families:

1. `funding_round`: Undisclosed or early-stage capital injection indicators.
2. `hiring_surge`: Rapid headcount growth, specifically in engineering or GTM roles.
3. `international_expansion`: Opening offices in new geographic markets.
4. `product_launch`: Major V2 launches or pivot indicators.
5. `executive_hire`: Bringing on experienced, late-stage executives.
6. `partnership_channel`: Strategic alliances with enterprise players.
7. `revenue_signal`: Milestone announcements or ARR crossing indicators.
8. `risk_indicator`: Layoffs, executive flight, or negative market sentiment.

## 5-Dimension Scoring Model

The scoring engine evaluates the attractiveness of an investment opportunity across 5 dimensions, resulting in a `totalInvestmentScore` (0-100):

* **Growth Trajectory (0-30):** Velocity of hiring, web traffic, and developer activity.
* **Market Timing (0-20):** Alignment with macro trends and recent competitor funding.
* **Team Strength (0-20):** Caliber of recent executive hires and founder pedigree.
* **Product Maturity (0-15):** Indications of enterprise readiness and tech stack evolution.
* **Risk Assessment (0-15):** Negative weighting for churn, layoffs, or regulatory issues.

## Priority Bands

Companies are categorized into investment priority bands based on their total score:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Prime Opportunity (80+)">
    Immediate review required. The company exhibits compounding hyper-growth signals.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Strong Prospect (60-79)">
    High potential. Add to the active monitoring pipeline.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Monitor (40-59)">
    Early indicators of traction. Needs more data to build conviction.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Early Stage (<40)">
    Background tracking. No immediate action needed.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  The Investor Intel lens operates entirely on the `marketRadarSignals` table under the hood, using the `wedgeType='investor_intel'` discriminator to keep your deal sourcing data isolated from standard sales pipelines.
