How to Use Pyckle Signals

Pyckle Signals is a done-for-you intelligence service. You describe a target in plain language, and Pyckle monitors the right public sources, ranks what it finds through PyckLM — our proprietary relevance model — and delivers only the signal that matters. No volume to wade through, no keyword alerts to tune. This guide walks through the four steps from "I need to find X" to signal landing in your inbox.

Step 1: Define the target

Start with a single sentence. The clearer the target, the sharper the signal. You do not need to specify sources or keywords — that is the part Pyckle handles for you. Good targets look like:

• "Track everything my top three competitors ship, change, or announce."
• "Find people publicly complaining about slow customer support in project management tools."
• "Surface indie SaaS products under $20k MRR whose founders are signalling they want out."
• "Alert me when a company posts its first partnerships or developer-relations role."

Step 2: Choose what matters

Signal comes in four common shapes. Pick the one that fits — or describe your own. This tells PyckLM how to rank what it surfaces.

Competitive monitoring

Track what competitors ship, change, and announce — pricing moves, new features, hiring, user complaints — before it reaches the press.

Market pain signals

Surface what your target customers are publicly frustrated about, in forums, communities, and review sites, so you know exactly what to build or pitch.

Acquisition targets

Find businesses, products, or domains that match your criteria, filtered for signals that suggest motivation to sell.

Lead signals

Identify companies or people actively expressing the problem your product solves, before they find a solution or go quiet.

Step 3: Pick cadence and delivery

Tell us how often you want signal and where it should land. Cadence can be a one-time sweep, weekly, or daily. Delivery goes wherever you already work:

• Email — a ranked digest in your inbox.
• Google Sheet — a live tab that fills in as signal arrives.
• Slack or Telegram — pushed to a channel as items clear the relevance bar.

Every delivery is ranked, not raw. You get the ten things that matter out of the ten thousand Pyckle reviewed — each with a short summary and a source link so you can verify in one click.

Step 4: Request your pilot

Two ways to start:

• Open the intake on the Signals page and answer the short set of questions — what you are trying to do, what to point at, and what a result is worth to you.
• Or email kellyprice@pyckle.co with your one-sentence target.

Either way, you receive a pilot within 48 hours — a first batch of real signal against your target — so you can judge the quality before committing to an ongoing cadence.

What you get back

A typical delivery item looks like this:

Signal: Competitor removed their free tier, added an
        enterprise plan with SSO.
Source: HN discussion, 4h ago
Why it matters: Pricing repositioning, upmarket move.

Signal: Three separate threads this week complaining
        about search latency after the last release.
Source: Reddit, 12h ago
Why it matters: Live product pain, pitch or build opening.

Clean, ranked, sourced. That is the whole point.
