Every lead says why it is first.

The score is a formula you can read, not a credit meter: engagement, ICP fit, confidence, and a company lift, multiplied. Pick an ingredient to see what it does.

Replace it

Switch without a gap in four steps.

Keep Sygnals running while Embers fills its first queue, then compare the two on the same week.

  1. Point Embers at the same sources

    Add the profiles you watch in Sygnals (your team, competitors, creators) to the Watchlist, and your keywords to Keyword Tracker.

    How it works
  2. Describe your buyer once

    Give Embers your website or a sentence about your buyer. It builds the ICP that decides who becomes a lead and how they rank.

    How it works
  3. Start with history, not an empty queue

    The first scan reaches back through up to 365 days of public activity, so the queue is useful on day one.

    How it works
  4. Run both for a week, then decide

    Work both queues on the same week and keep the one whose leads you actually follow up. Nothing is deleted if you stop.
