The report vs. signals

The Report is market-wide. Signals is niche-specific.

Every issue publishes the Buying Intent count for the full market. That number tends to raise one question: which companies, in my niche?

That resolution lives in Signals: niche-level named accounts, decision-maker contacts, and buying-signal detail, updated monthly. The Report is free and always will be. Signals is the paid layer for agencies that want the named list.

Written by

Peter Korpak, Chief Analyst.

The economic section is written by hand, every issue, by Peter Korpak (ex-Credit Suisse, ex-S&P Global). No competitor will fake an analyst who actually reads rates, recession probabilities, and tech-sector health for dev agency founders. The economic outlook and the Analyst's Call are never automated and never paywalled.

Know where the market is going before you commit.

Every Signals client has read the Report first. It's how they knew we weren't guessing about their niche.
