Signal score
Signal score is the 0–100 number SignalPipe attaches to a lead. It answers one question: how strongly is this person expressing a need that your product serves? A high score means a direct, urgent, specific request. A low one means the post touches your topic without anyone actually asking for anything.
The score reflects more than topical overlap. A post can mention your category constantly and score low, because talking about a subject is not the same as wanting to buy something — that gap is the single most common reason keyword tools waste your time.
Context outside the post itself also counts. Someone publicly unhappy with a competitor is treated as the high-intent signal it is, and sources that have historically produced leads you approved are trusted more than sources that have produced noise.
Only leads that clear the bar become missions for you to review. The rest are recorded but never interrupt you.
