    SignalRush Monitor

    SignalRush Monitor is a real-time intent alerting platform for B2B sales teams that watches public discussions for competitor failure events, implementation complaints, outage mentions, and switching signals. It routes only high-priority alerts using account filters, negative-context rules, and team playbooks so reps can respond while the pain is acute.

    Deal Quality Risk Scoring

    A RevOps add-on that scores every closed-won deal for downstream risk (likely churn, support burden, and delivery feasibility) and flags reps/patterns driving avoidable damage. It connects CRM + support + product/engineering signals to create a "profit-adjusted" view of sales performance and enforces guardrails before promises become commitments.

    SOC2 Readiness Sprint Kit

    A lightweight SOC 2 readiness platform that converts your actual cloud stack (AWS/GCP/Azure, GitHub, Okta/Google Workspace, CI/CD, ticketing) into a week-by-week readiness plan and continuously collects audit evidence into an auditor-friendly packet. It focuses on eliminating the highest-friction tasks: evidence gathering, access reviews, and sales security questionnaire responses, without requiring a full GRC implementation.

    DirectoryLink Ops

    A SaaS platform that operationalizes safe, high-signal directory submissions for new SaaS products. It provides a continuously updated, verified directory database plus a submission workflow that schedules drip submissions, tracks outcomes (indexing, dofollow/nofollow, DR impact), and generates the exact submission payload per directory to cut manual time while avoiding spam patterns.

    Retention Cohort Autopilot

    A lightweight retention and activation system that plugs into Stripe + one analytics source and automatically creates cohort-based onboarding, win-back, and downgrade-prevention flows. It ships with opinionated playbooks for common SaaS motions (trial-to-paid, freemium-to-paid, usage-based) and measures impact with simple cohort reports founders can act on in minutes.
