Anchor sentence
In SignalPipe, an anchor sentence is a short, buyer-voice example of the intent a product wants to detect — embedded once and used as the reference every incoming post is matched against.
Each product configures a small set of anchor sentences (typically 5–10) describing the moment of buying intent its ideal customer might express. Example: "I need a tool to monitor Reddit and Hacker News for sales leads." These are written in the buyer's voice, not the seller's — anchors describing your features instead of the buyer's pain produce noisy matches.
Every incoming post is compared with your anchors by meaning rather than by keywords, so a post that never uses your product's vocabulary can still be found, and one that only repeats it is not mistaken for a buyer.
