What it is
Underneath Signal Feed is the same detection and qualification engine that powers AKS Operator's full pipeline. A buying event gets logged the moment it happens somewhere in NL or BE: a new distribution centre opening, a contract win that forces a 3PL to scale, a leadership hire, a tender, a channel shift into marketplace fulfilment, an automation investment, and so on.
Every candidate then has to clear four gates before it ever reaches you. COUNTRY filters to NL or BE only. SIZE confirms the company sits inside your served band, so a multi-billion operator never lands on the desk of a vendor built for €5M shops. STACK and ARCHETYPE check that the company's profile actually matches your ICP, 3PL versus D2C and the like. INTENT confirms the event is a genuine trigger rather than background noise. What survives all four carries a confidence score from 0 to 95, and where a company throws two or more distinct signal types inside a short window, it gets flagged as a hot account and prioritised.
The survivor is then human-verified and resolved to a named decision-maker before it ever reaches your inbox. Signal Feed is the output of that whole process handed to you as a clean, ready-to-act-on stream, not a spreadsheet of maybes.
Who this is for
Signal Feed fits two kinds of vendor. The first already has someone running outbound, whether that is a founder, a part-time hire, or an early SDR, but has no reliable way to know when a buyer in their market is actually in motion. They are not short on effort. They are short on timing.
The second is not ready to hand over their identity and inbox to an outside operator, and wants to see what real, verified signal looks like before considering that step. Signal Feed lets that vendor run their own outreach on intelligence they would otherwise never see, at a fraction of the cost and risk of hiring and ramping a Dutch SDR.
It is not the right fit for a vendor that wants the meetings booked for them with no involvement in the outreach itself. That is what Ghost BD is for.
What it costs and how long it takes
Signal Feed runs on a setup fee that covers calibrating the engine to your exact ICP, plus an ongoing monthly retainer for the live feed. Exact figures are scoped in the first conversation, because the right setup depends on how narrow or broad your served band is and how the engine should weight the regions and signal types that matter to you.
Calibration typically takes the first couple of weeks of an engagement: defining the four gates precisely for your business, agreeing what counts as a genuine trigger versus noise, and tuning the confidence scoring to your risk appetite. The first verified signals usually start landing inside that window, with the feed reaching a steady cadence shortly after.
What's included
An ongoing stream of verified, in-band NL/BE buying signals matched to your ICP. Each one carries the company name, the country, the trigger type, a named and resolved contact with their role, a confidence score from 0 to 95, and a short why-now explanation. Every signal is sourced and human-verified, never a scraped list, and the approach stays GDPR-aware throughout, with sources disclosed on request.
The process, step by step
First, calibration: a short engagement where your ICP gets translated into the COUNTRY, SIZE, STACK, and INTENT gates the engine runs on, so every candidate gets measured against your business specifically, not a generic template.
Second, continuous detection: buying events across NL and BE get logged as they happen, drawing on the signal types that matter most for your archetype, whether that is 3PL-heavy triggers like contract wins and tenders, or D2C-heavy ones like channel shifts and leadership hires.
Third, qualification and scoring: each candidate clears the four gates, gets resolved to a named decision-maker, and receives a confidence score. Companies throwing multiple signals inside a short window get flagged as priority accounts.
Fourth, delivery: the finished signal lands in your feed, named, scored, and explained, ready for you to act on with your own outreach, on your own timeline.
Frequently asked
What exactly do I receive each time a signal lands?
A named company, the trigger that put it in motion, a resolved decision-maker with their role, a confidence score from 0 to 95, and a short why-now that explains what happened and why it matters. Everything is verified and human-checked before it reaches you, never raw scraped data.
How is this different from a lead list or an intent data tool?
A lead list or intent tool hands you data and you still have to work out what it means and whether it is real. Signal Feed delivers the finished read: a verified, in-band event tied to a named person at a company that already matches your ICP, with the reasoning attached.
How often do new signals arrive?
On a continuous basis rather than a fixed batch. Detection runs all the time across NL and BE, and each candidate is qualified and scored as it survives the gates, so the feed reflects what is actually happening in the market rather than a periodic dump.
Do I need an existing outbound process to use this?
It helps, but it is not required. Signal Feed is built for vendors who already have someone running outreach and want to stop flying blind on timing, and for vendors who want to test the quality of the intelligence before considering the full pipeline. Either way, the signal arrives ready to act on.
Can I upgrade from Signal Feed to Ghost BD later?
Yes, and that is the most common path. Signal Feed proves the quality of the engine before you hand over the outreach itself. Many vendors start here, see what a verified signal looks like in practice, and move to Ghost BD once they decide they would rather have the meetings booked for them.
