End-to-end news-triggered signal composite. Takes any piece of news — an article, LinkedIn post, tweet, announcement, event, trend, regulation, product launch, acquisition, layoff, expansion, or any other public event — and evaluates whether the companies or people mentioned are ICP fits. If yes, identifies the connection between the news and your product, finds the right people to contact, and drafts personalized outreach using the news as the hook. Tool-agnostic. Accepts both company-level and

The catch-all signal composite. Every other composite handles a specific signal type (funding, hiring, leadership change, champion move). This one handles everything else — any piece of news or public event that could create a reason to reach out.
A regulation change. A product recall. A competitor acquisition. A market expansion. A layoff. An earnings miss. A new partnership. An industry report. A conference keynote. A viral LinkedIn post. Any external event that shifts a company's priorities, creates urgency, or opens a window for your product.
Why this composite exists: The world generates an infinite stream of potential outreach triggers. The four structured signal composites handle the most common patterns. This composite handles the long tail — the unpredictable, opportunistic moments that often produce the best outreach because nobody else is sending a templated sequence about them.
Load this composite when ANY of these are true:
Key principle: If the user shares an external signal (URL, post, article, mention) and asks ANY question about the companies/people in it — load this composite. Don't wait for the word "outreach." The composite handles both evaluation-only (Steps 1-3) and full outreach (Steps 1-6).
This composite accepts three input modes:
| Mode | Input | Example |
|---|---|---|
| News → Companies | A news item. Extract companies/people mentioned, qualify them. | "Here's an article about new FDA regulations on telehealth" |
| Companies → News | A list of companies. Find recent news about them, evaluate relevance. | "Check these 50 companies for any news we can use as an outreach angle" |
| Person → News | A person or list of people. Find recent news about them or their company, evaluate relevance. | "Check if any of these prospects have been in the news" |
On first run for a client/user, collect and store these preferences. Skip on subsequent runs.
