The company's Professional Network follower count increased.

## When it fires

<Card title="Trigger condition" icon="bolt">
  `followers` count increases between snapshots.
</Card>

## 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:

| Bucket     | Condition                   |
| ---------- | --------------------------- |
| `low`      | 1% ≤ \|delta\_pct\| \< 5%   |
| `moderate` | 5% ≤ \|delta\_pct\| \< 15%  |
| `high`     | 15% ≤ \|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

  </Card>

  <Card title="Corroboration">
    Best used to confirm other signals rather than as a primary trigger.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Slow burn">
    Steady, low-magnitude growth is normal and rarely actionable by itself.
  </Card>

## Outreach playbook

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