A unified signal workflow that detects, scores, enriches, and routes automatically is a competitive advantage. Learn to build it in Bitscale. **SI-6 · Signal Intelligence · 125 XP · \~22 min** You've learned to detect and interpret five types of signals: job changes, funding events, hiring patterns, news, and intent. Now the question is how to run all of them simultaneously without manual monitoring overhead. The answer is a unified signal workflow — a Bitscale system that watches for signals across all sources, scores them in real time, enriches the relevant contacts, generates outreach, and routes to your sequencer automatically. *** ## Signal Workflow Architecture A production signal workflow has four stages: ``` Stage 1: DETECTION Multiple signal sources → unified event feed (LinkedIn, Crunchbase, job boards, news APIs, your CRM) Stage 2: SCORING & FILTERING Signal quality scoring (SI-1 framework) ICP fit check (DE-5 scoring) Deduplication (same company, multiple signals) Stage 3: ENRICHMENT Find decision-maker contacts at signaled company Enrich with company intelligence (DE-4) Generate personalized copy using signal as context Stage 4: ROUTING Tier 1 (high signal + high fit) → auto-export to sequencer Tier 2 → review queue for manual approval Tier 3 → add to nurture list Below threshold → log and ignore ``` *** ## Building the Unified Signal Grid In Bitscale, create a master "Signal Feed" grid. This is the central input for all signals. Each row is a detected signal event. **Signal Feed columns:** * `signal_date` — when the signal was detected * `company_name` — target company * `company_domain` — for enrichment * `signal_type` — job\_change / funding / hiring / news / intent / first\_party * `signal_description` — what happened * `signal_source` — where you found it * `signal_quality_score` — from SI-1 scoring * `icp_fit_score` — from DE-5 scoring * `priority_composite` — combined signal × fit score * `routing_decision` — immediate / this\_week / nurture / ignore * `enrichment_status` — pending / complete / failed * `outreach_generated` — true/false ### Signal deduplication ``` You are reviewing a new signal for {{company_name}}. New signal: - Type: {{signal_type}} - Description: {{signal_description}} - Date: {{signal_date}} Recent signals for the same company in the past 30 days: {{recent_signals_list}} Is this a duplicate or extension of an existing signal, or a new distinct signal? - duplicate: Same event, already in queue - extension: Same signal type, builds on existing (e.g., more hiring news) - new_signal: Distinct new trigger Return: {"classification": "...", "action": "skip_duplicate / merge_with_existing / add_as_new"} ``` *** ## Contact Finding from Signal When a signal fires for a company, you need to find the right person to reach: ``` A signal has fired for {{company_name}}: {{signal_description}} Based on the signal type ({{signal_type}}), who is the most relevant person to reach at this company? Signal-to-persona mapping: - funding: VP Sales, CRO, or CEO (depending on company size) - job_change: The new hire themselves (if decision-maker) or their future manager - hiring: Head of Sales Development, VP Sales, or RevOps - news (product): VP Marketing or Head of Growth - news (partnership): CRO or VP of Business Development - intent: Whoever matches your primary buyer persona Company size: {{company_size}} Known contacts at company: {{known_contacts}} Return the recommended target persona (title) and why. ``` *** ## Signal Workflow Automation The most powerful setup is a trigger-based workflow that runs continuously: **Option A: Scheduled batch (simplest)** * Run signal detection workflow daily at 8am * New rows added to Signal Feed grid automatically * Scoring, enrichment, and copy generation run automatically * Outputs reviewed each morning before sequencer export **Option B: Near-real-time (advanced)** * Webhook triggers from signal sources (Crunchbase, your CRM) * Immediate enrichment on signal receipt * Slack notification for Tier 1 signals requiring same-day action * Auto-export to sequencer for pre-approved signal types ### Slack notification prompt for Tier 1 signals: ``` A high-priority signal has been detected: Company: {{company_name}} Signal: {{signal_description}} Fit score: {{icp_fit_score}} Signal quality: {{signal_quality_score}} Composite priority: {{priority_composite}} Recommended contact: {{recommended_persona}} at {{company_name}} Enriched contact found: {{contact_name}}, {{contact_title}} ({{contact_email}}) Generated email (review and approve): --- {{generated_email}} --- Action required within: {{outreach_window}} ``` *** ## Signal Workflow Performance Tracking Track these metrics for your signal workflow: | Metric | What to Track | Target | | ------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | | Signals detected per week | Volume of incoming signals | Depends on ICP size | | Signal-to-outreach rate | % of signals that lead to actual outreach | > 40% (rest should be nurture/ignore) | | Signal-to-reply rate | % of signal-triggered emails that get a reply | > 8% (vs. 3-5% for non-signal outreach) | | Signal decay tracking | % of signals acted on within optimal window | > 70% | | Tier distribution | % of signals reaching each tier | Tier 1 should be 10–20% of detected signals | *** **Quick Check:** What are the four stages of a signal workflow? What is signal deduplication and why does it matter? What metrics track signal workflow performance? *** ## SI-6 Challenge: Build a Unified Signal Workflow (+125 XP) Build a unified Signal Feed grid in Bitscale that combines at least 3 signal types. **Requirements:** * Signal Feed grid with all 11 columns defined * At least 30 signals loaded across 3+ signal types * Signal quality scoring + ICP fit scoring + composite priority * Deduplication check column * Contact recommendation column * Generated email for all Tier 1 signals * Performance tracking template (empty but set up for incoming data) Share your Signal Feed grid. **+125 XP on approval.** *** Build and run a live signal workflow for 2 weeks.
