Two or three questions you can open with today.

This is the whole job of version one. Pick the account's category, take the questions, and walk in with a dated measure instead of an opinion. Every question shows the measure, its value, its as-of date and the public source it came from.

Question 1

AS OF 2026-06-08

Skin Cycling is accelerating faster than anything else you touch in Fashion & Beauty — who inside your team owns the call on whether you show up there, and by when?

A rising, not-yet-saturated signal forces an owner-and-deadline conversation instead of a general trends chat.

Evidence
Velocity 81.6 / 100, spread —, state EMERGING, confidence LOW

Question 2

AS OF 2026-06-08

Vinted moved -9.5 in the last day — what portion of this quarter's spend is still committed against it, and what would trigger you to pull it?

A dated decline turns budget defence into a live decision the buyer has to answer today.

Question 3

AS OF 2026-07-29

J. Press just committed budget to Mister Mort, amount undisclosed — when your board asks why you did not, what is the answer you would want to have ready?

A competitor's committed budget is the cleanest urgency trigger available; it is public, dated and unarguable.

How these are generated

AI-SYNTHESIZED

Questions are produced by fixed rules over published rows, not by a language model. A rule fires only when its measure exists for the current date, so the same inputs always produce the same brief and any question can be traced back to a row.

The tool arms the conversation. It is not the product, it is not sold, and no client is given a seat in it.

Where the money went

Budget movement is the sharpest prospecting trigger we hold. Every sponsorship, collab, festival deal and funding round we detect is listed with its source.
