The 5 Dimensions of Scoring
Every signal is evaluated against these five criteria:- Signal Strength / Budget Relevance: Does this signal indicate actual buying activity or budget availability? (e.g., a Series B funding round scores higher than a generic blog post).
- Actionability: Can a sales rep use this signal to craft a compelling outreach message?
- Freshness: When did the event happen? Signals lose value over time.
- ICP Fit: How closely does the associated account match your Ideal Customer Profile?
- Compounding (Stacking): Is this an isolated event, or part of a broader pattern? Signals receive a boost if the account has diverse recent signals from other sources.
Priority Bands
Based on the composite score (0-100), signals are categorized into priority bands:- High Priority (80+): Strong buying signals. These trigger GTME plays and Monday 8 prioritization.
- Worth Outreach (60-79): Solid rationale for contact. Good for standard sequence enrollment.
- Monitor (40-59): Weak or early-stage signals. Kept on the radar to see if signals compound.
- Low Priority (<40): Filtered out of standard views to reduce noise.
Signal Decay
Signal strength is highly time-sensitive. SignalArk applies an automated decay curve to signal scores based on their source type.- Fast Decay (e.g., Website Visit, Social Mention): Half-life of 3-7 days.
- Medium Decay (e.g., Job Posting, Event Attendance): Half-life of 14-30 days.
- Slow Decay (e.g., Funding Round, Exec Hire): Half-life of 60-90 days.
