Leads
Your leads — found and warmed for you
Not a cold database. A ranked list of buyers becoming ready, filtered by motion: Hybrid.
The Conviction System finds these leads, researches every buyer, and warms them — so you spend your time on buyers who are becoming ready, with the way in already mapped.
1It finds them
Early-warning triggers and project & demand signals surface buyers becoming ready — each scored by win-probability.
2It understands them
A signal-anchored persona is built per lead — who decides, what they need now, and how to reach them.
3It converts them
A custom icebreaker opens it, engagement tracking reads intent, and the no-reply diagnostic keeps every lead warm.
Result: a ranked list of buyers, each with the exact way in. Click any lead for its full profile.

Early-warning What's coming — forward signals
▲Air-permit filings up across the TX/LA chemical corridor. A leading indicator of projects entering preliminary engineering — pump procurement typically follows 8–14 months later. 14 matching filings in the last 90 days.
▲Federal low-carbon chemicals funding awards. New funding is seeding capacity that will form specs over the next 12–18 months. Three awards touch your sectors.
▲EPC contract awards on the Gulf Coast. Once the engineering contractor is named, equipment specs follow within two quarters. Tracked per project.
▲Specialty-chemical capex disclosures. Public capex guidance from majors signals capacity adds before they break ground. Refreshed every cycle.
