Account-level intent
Account-level intent is the first cut: behavioral signals from across an account's domain footprint, resolved at the account entity. This identifies which accounts are in active switching consideration within a defined window. The window in B2B SaaS is typically 90 days for in-quarter conversion targeting.
Committee resolution
Within an in-market account, the buying committee is identified by role inference, behavioral engagement pattern, and identity-graph linkage. Median committee size is eleven on enterprise deals; targeting only the named champion or only the economic buyer leaves measurable conversion on the table.
Funnel velocity
Account intent + committee identification + behavioral velocity produces a probability of conversion within the current quarter. This is the most operationally useful output: it lets a sales team allocate finite engagement capacity against the highest-probability cells of the account-quarter matrix.
