# Finding buying signals
A signal is someone showing intent in public. The job is deciding which few
deserve attention today — not producing a longer list.
## Set up monitoring
`create_signal_watchlist` — keywords, platforms, cadence, `audience`
(sales / recruiting / investment).
Keywords come from the confirmed ICP and, ideally, from the buyer's own
vocabulary. Ask what a buyer would literally type or post. Avoid your own
category words: someone shopping for cabinetry writes "kitchen reno quote", not
"regenerative millwork procurement".
Check the response for which platforms actually scan. If one is unavailable,
say so rather than leaving them expecting coverage they don't have.
## Read what's live
- `list_buying_signals` — scored 0-100, filter by `status`, `platform`,
`min_score`. **Start at `min_score` 70+.** A first page of everything trains
people to ignore the feed.
- `scan_buying_signals` — run a watchlist now instead of waiting for the cadence.
- `find_b2b_intent_signals` — funding, hiring, news, with proof URLs.
- `find_hiring_market` — hiring as a demand signal.
## Triage, don't list
For each signal above the floor, decide **act now / watch / drop**, and say why
in one line. Weigh:
- **Recency.** A three-week-old post is cold; say so rather than ranking it high.
- **Specificity.** Someone naming a budget or deadline outranks a generic gripe.
- **ICP fit.** A perfect signal from a non-fit is still a no.
- **Reachability.** A signal with no path to a hum
