Demo Request Buying Signals
Demo-related posts signal a buyer in the final funnel stage. They're done with awareness — they're optimizing how to evaluate before purchasing.
What are Demo Request buying signals?
Demo request buying signals appear when buyers ask what to expect in a demo, how to get value from one, or complain about demo-heavy sales processes. These are late-stage indicators from buyers with budget authority.

3. Sarcasm filter
Detects posts that superficially match but are complaints, jokes, or negative mentions — removes false positives before the LLM stage.
4. LLM swarm
