The RevSyt buying signal taxonomy
The categories RevSyt researches, what counts as evidence in each, and how strength and recency are judged.
Last updated · Written by the RevSyt team at Meta-Insyt LLC
What signals does RevSyt look for?
Seven categories: leadership and organisational change, hiring and role evidence, technology and platform change, corporate events, regulatory and compliance deadlines, public service friction, and go-to-market moves. Within each, only dated and attributable evidence is reported as a signal.
The categories
| Category | Evidence RevSyt accepts | Feeds |
|---|---|---|
| Leadership & organisation | Named appointments, departures, restructures with a date | Triggers, urgency |
| Hiring & roles | Job posts and public roles, especially those naming tools or teams | Growth, technology fit, personas |
| Technology & platform | Migrations, platform announcements, integration and partner pages | Technology fit, triggers |
| Corporate events | Funding, M&A, new entities, new sites, announced expansion | Growth, triggers |
| Regulatory & compliance | Published deadlines, certification programmes, mandated changes | Urgency |
| Public service friction | Disclosed incidents or outages reported by credible sources | Triggers |
| Go-to-market | Product launches, market entries, channel or partner programmes | Growth, urgency |
How strength is judged
- Attribution — the claim traces to a source that can be named.
- Date — the event can be placed in time; undated claims are weak by default.
- Specificity — it names a system, team, site or deadline rather than a theme.
- Relevance — it relates to the technology profile being scored, not to the company in general.
The absence of a signal is also information
Every analysis reports missing signals — what was searched for and not found. This is what lets a user distinguish "this company is a poor fit" from "this company publishes very little". Fabricating a signal to fill the gap is explicitly out of scope; see verified fact vs AI inference.
Frequently asked questions
What buying signals does RevSyt look for?
RevSyt looks for dated, attributable events in seven categories: leadership and organisational change, hiring and role evidence, technology and platform change, corporate events, regulatory and compliance deadlines, public service friction, and go-to-market moves.
What happens when no signals are found?
RevSyt returns an empty signal list and reports which signals it looked for and did not find, rather than inventing plausible ones.
Are signals weighted by age?
Yes. Recent evidence influences the score, urgency and recommendations more strongly than older evidence, and undated claims are treated as weak.
Is this taxonomy an industry standard?
No. It is RevSyt's own working taxonomy, published so users can see what the product looks for.
