What the target accounts search does, and what it doesn't

"Try the Unified Signal Layer", the target-account search on the home page, takes your domain, who you sell to and the function you are looking for, and emails you the companies in our census that match. This page says, plainly, what it reviews, what it doesn't, and why an account can come back without roles. If something shows up in the result, it has to be explainable. Never "trust us."

What it does

How the function is decided

For each role we compare what the person does with the description of the function you asked for, with examples of roles that count and roles that do not decide a purchase. The result is one of three: does that function, probably does it, or does not. The ones that do not are not shown. A role that does not decide a purchase (an intern, an assistant) is discarded without further analysis. The reason for each decision is written next to the role.

What it does NOT do

Why an account can come back without roles

Most often we have no roles loaded for a small or mid-sized company. In that case the account still shows up, with its site checked, and says we do not have roles to review yet. If we reviewed them and none does the function, it says so. If the search reached its time limit before reviewing it, it says that too. An account without roles is not a failure on our side: it is what can be proven about that company today.

The result is born in review. A person reads it before it reaches your inbox, always.

What you're looking at: three readings, one literal quote and a signature you can check

The radar on the home page is not a news feed. It's an experiment in the open, over a public list of named companies, to measure one thing: what happens to a market fact when two different machines and a person read it, with everything on the record.

Why we don't delegate the reading

The commercial tools that read news for you ship with safety rules the vendor decides. Faced with strikes, lawsuits, sanctions or boycotts, they sometimes hand back a softened version, or simply don't answer. That's not a bug that gets patched: it's part of the product. A company that delegates market discovery to one of those tools inherits that judgment without seeing it. Here we don't assume it, we measure it. When a model declines to evaluate a fact, the card says so in those words.

Three readings of the same signal

Every card gets the same original text and the same fact, and puts it through independent readings: a commercial model and an open-weights model running on our own infrastructure. Each one is asked the same narrow thing and nothing more: does the text back the fact, not back it, or is it not enough to decide. None of them opine, none of them write. We don't average the readings or pick a winner. If the two automatic readings disagree, the card leaves that visible as is. While a reading hasn't arrived, it says "pending". A person on the team reads the text when those two readings disagree, and also reads one signal picked at random each day to measure how often they agree. When the two models agree and the day's pick landed elsewhere, the card says so: there is no human reading pending, there just isn't one.

The quote rules

Under every fact sits the exact sentence from the source that backs it, copied letter for letter, with the link next to it. Before publishing, that sentence is checked against the original stored text. If it doesn't show up verbatim, the signal is not published. The machine doesn't summarize or rewrite: it trims. And when a person rewrites a fact, the card says so, and the two automatic readings run again on the new fact.

A person signs, and you can check it

The person reads the text and the fact without seeing what the models said. Their reading is sealed with a unique fingerprint that combines the date, the fact evaluated and who evaluated it. That fingerprint can't be edited afterward, not even by us. Every card's "Check" button recomputes it against what's stored and tells you whether it still holds. We also log how long that person took: a reading approved in under three seconds gets flagged as such, and that flag is part of what's signed.

What we don't promise

We don't publish an index or a score for "how much each model hides": there's no measurement behind that yet. We don't say one reading is right and another isn't. We don't evaluate people, only facts about named companies. What we publish is the measurement, gaps included. What to conclude from it is yours.

How a signal enters the radar

The list on the home page is not the accounts search: it's the Market Radar running over a short, public list of named companies. This is what happens between a source and a card.

What the public radar does NOT do

Rules the operator cannot bypass

These four are not configuration options. They are carved into the Unified Signal Layer or verified by automatic checks that fail if someone changes them without saying so.

These rules are the concrete form of the Founding Mandates on this surface. If it cannot be audited, the data does not exist. A false positive is worse than a missed signal. Rules are not suggested, they are carved in.
