01

Account Level

DimensionQualifiedPrioritization
GeographyUnited States (primary), Canada, UK, AustraliaTier 1: US-based companies in EST/CST/PST time zones with in-house product or ops teams
Employee Count50 to 1,000 employeesSweet spot: 100 to 500 employees where engineering capacity is constrained but budget exists
Industry / VerticalMarket research, professional services, financial services, healthcare ops, logistics, B2B SaaS, insurtechPrioritize verticals with high data complexity and compliance pressure where maintainability matters most
Key Qualifying SignalCompany is actively building or has recently shipped a custom internal tool, client-facing platform, or AI agent using no-code, vibe-coding, or offshore dev with no clear architecture ownerHighest priority: job posts for 'AI engineer' or 'software architect' alongside recent LinkedIn posts about AI transformation frustrations or technical debt
Tech StackAWS or Azure hosted workloads, Python or Node backends, existing use of OpenAI or Claude APIs, legacy systems being modernizedPrioritize accounts already spending on AI APIs but lacking structured architecture around them
Revenue / Funding$2M to $50M ARR or Series A to Series C fundedPrioritize post-Series A companies with budget authority but not yet a full in-house engineering org
Intent SignalsHiring for software architect, VP Engineering, or AI engineer roles; posting about AI strategy on LinkedIn; attending AI or digital transformation conferences; G2 research on AI development platformsHighest priority: accounts showing multiple concurrent signals within a 30-day window
