A practical example
Example: a team weights first-party pricing-page visits at 3 points, third-party topic spikes at 2, applies a 30-day decay, and sets 8 as the alert threshold for rep outreach.
What to evaluate before investing
- Can the platform expose per-signal contributions so reps see why an account scored high?
- Does it support custom weights and decay windows, or only vendor-defined scores?
- Can thresholds trigger routing or alerts without engineering work?
Limitations and tradeoffs
Vendor intent scores are typically opaque and non-comparable across providers; building your own model requires clean signal feeds and ongoing recalibration, or the score drifts into noise.
