Signal Ark detects buyer intent by monitoring a broad range of public and proprietary data sources in real time. Rather than relying on a single signal type — which is easy to miss or misread — the platform aggregates activity across 15+ sources and surfaces patterns that indicate genuine organizational momentum. Every source feeds into the same scoring and classification pipeline, so signals from different origins are directly comparable.Documentation Index

| Hiring | Job boards, LinkedIn | Organizational expansion and technology needs |
| Executive change | News, LinkedIn | New leadership evaluating existing vendors |
| Technology | GitHub, npm, tech stack scans | Adoption or displacement opportunities |

Social monitoring
Beyond broad market signals, Signal Ark lets you set up Social Monitors for specific people and topics. Use social monitors to track:- Past champions — Get notified when a former customer who championed your product changes companies, creating a warm re-engagement opportunity.
- Key executives — Follow public posts from decision-makers at high-priority accounts.
- Competitor hashtags and mentions — Surface conversations where prospects are expressing dissatisfaction with a competitor.
External signal ingestion
Signal Ark accepts signals from external data providers through its ingestion API. This allows you to supplement the platform’s native sources with proprietary datasets your team already has access to. Externally ingested signals pass through the same deduplication, AI classification, and scoring pipeline as native signals — they appear in the timeline with a source tag indicating their origin.External ingestion requires an API key and is available on Growth and Pro plans. Contact your account manager to enable it for your workspace.
