How to read this
Signals combine 10 to 50 employees accounting-firm footprints, recent hiring, and sparse visible automation tooling. The framing stays careful: it highlights process pressure, not guaranteed buying intent.
Downloads expose the public payload plus a sample CSV. They do not expose private workspace state or unpublished rows.
