When it fires

Trigger condition

followers count increases between snapshots.

Magnitude

Bucketed on the follower percentage change. Most steady growth is low magnitude; spikes are split into a dedicated signal. Buckets are assigned from the percentage change between snapshots:
BucketCondition
low1% ≤ |delta_pct| < 5%
moderate5% ≤ |delta_pct| < 15%
high15% ≤ |delta_pct| < 30%
hyper|delta_pct| ≥ 30%

Why it matters

Rising follower counts signal market attention and brand momentum. On its own it’s a soft signal, but it corroborates harder events, a funding announcement or product launch usually shows up as a follower bump too.

How to read it

Attention proxy

Follower growth tracks brand awareness and content reach.

Corroboration

Best used to confirm other signals rather than as a primary trigger.

Slow burn

Outreach playbook

Treat as supporting evidence. Escalate only when it co-occurs with funding or hiring signals.

Followers Spike

Follower growth ran sharply above the company’s recent baseline.

Posting Activity Increase

The company is posting noticeably more on social.
