How to Build a Sales Intelligence Dashboard with the BounceWatch API

Your sales team checks five tools every morning. LinkedIn for hiring updates. Crunchbase for funding rounds. A CRM for pipeline status. A spreadsheet for account priorities. Maybe a Slack channel for the latest intel someone overheard on a call. What if everything — company data, growth signals, deal priorities, risk alerts — lived in one dashboard built specifically for your workflow?

That is not a hypothetical. With the BounceWatch API and a modern frontend framework, you can build a sales intelligence dashboard that pulls live company signals, scores accounts automatically, and surfaces the opportunities your team should act on right now. No more tab-switching. No more stale spreadsheets. Just one screen that tells your reps exactly where to focus.

In this tutorial, we will walk through the full architecture and implementation — from defining dashboard components to fetching signal data, building React widgets, and deploying the finished product. Whether you are a developer on a sales ops team or a technical founder who wants to give your reps superpowers, this guide will get you there.

What a Signal-Powered Sales Dashboard Shows

Before writing a single line of code, it helps to understand what separates a sales dashboard with API integration from a generic analytics page. A signal-powered dashboard is not a chart dump. It is an action layer — every widget answers one question: "What should I do next?"

Here are the core modules a well-designed sales intelligence dashboard should include:

Signal Feed

A real-time timeline of company events that matter to your pipeline. Funding rounds, leadership changes, product launches, hiring surges, layoffs, partnerships — every event tagged by type, severity, and relevance to your accounts. Think of it as a curated news feed where every item is a potential selling moment. BounceWatch tracks recently funded companies, hiring surges, shutdown risks, and dozens of other signal types that directly impact sales timing.

Hot Accounts List

A ranked list of companies showing the strongest buying signals right now. This is not a static list pulled from your CRM — it is dynamically scored based on the freshest data. A company that just raised a Series B and posted three engineering roles this week ranks higher than one that has been quiet for months.

Risk Alerts

The flip side of opportunity. Which accounts in your pipeline are showing warning signs? Layoffs, executive departures, negative press, declining web traffic — these signals tell your team to adjust their approach, accelerate a deal before budget cuts hit, or deprioritize an account that is circling the drain.

Pipeline Enrichment

Automatic enrichment of every company in your CRM with firmographic data, technographic details, and the latest signals. No more manual research before a call. The dashboard pulls company size, industry, tech stack, funding history, and recent events — all in one card.

Team Activity

Which reps are acting on signals? Who claimed the hot accounts? A lightweight activity feed keeps the team aligned and prevents two reps from chasing the same freshly funded startup.

Architecture Overview

We will keep the architecture simple and production-ready. Here is the stack:

• Frontend: Next.js with React — server-side rendering for fast initial loads, client-side interactivity for real-time updates
• Styling: Tailwind CSS — utility-first CSS for rapid UI development without fighting a design system
• API Layer: BounceWatch API — company data, signals, and enrichment endpoints
• Backend/Cache: Next.js API routes + PostgreSQL (or SQLite for prototyping) — cache API responses, store user preferences, manage team state
• Auth: Your existing auth system or a simple API key guard for internal tools

The data flow is straightforward:

┌──────────────┐     ┌──────────────┐     ┌──────────────┐
│   Next.js    │────▶│  API Routes  │────▶│  BounceWatch │
│   Frontend   │◀────│  (Cache DB)  │◀────│     API      │

       ▼                    ▼
  React Widgets       PostgreSQL
  (Signal Feed,       (Cached data,
   Scorecards,        user prefs,
   Charts)            team state)

Why cache? BounceWatch API responses are rich — company profiles can include hundreds of data points. Caching lets you serve instant page loads while refreshing data in the background. It also means your dashboard stays responsive even if your API quota is modest. A 15-minute cache TTL is a solid default for signal data. Company profiles can be cached for hours since firmographic data changes less frequently.

Step 1 — Define Dashboard Components

Let us map out the five core widgets and what data each one needs from the API. This company signals dashboard tutorial focuses on components that deliver immediate value to sales teams.

Signal Feed Widget

Displays a chronological list of signals across tracked companies. Each signal card shows the company name, signal type (funding, hiring, risk, etc.), a brief description, timestamp, and a relevance score. Reps can filter by signal type and by their assigned accounts.

Data needed: Signal events for tracked companies, company metadata for context.

Account Scorecard

A detailed card for a single company showing firmographic data (size, industry, location, funding stage), recent signals, a composite score, and recommended actions. This is what a rep opens before a call or email.

Data needed: Full company profile, signal history, CRM deal data (from your system).

Hot Accounts List

A ranked table of the top 20 accounts by composite score, updated every 15 minutes. Columns: company name, score, latest signal, days since last contact (from CRM), assigned rep.

Data needed: Batch company scores, latest signals per company, CRM contact history.

Risk Monitor

A filtered view showing only negative signals — layoffs, executive departures, funding droughts, declining traffic. Each alert includes the signal severity and a suggested action (e.g., "Accelerate close — budget review likely in 30 days").

Data needed: Signals filtered by negative types, company pipeline status.

Signal Velocity Chart

A line chart showing signal volume over time for your tracked accounts. Spikes indicate periods of high activity — product launches, hiring waves, or crises. This helps sales leaders allocate team attention to the right moments.

Data needed: Signal counts aggregated by day/week, filtered by company or segment.

Step 2 — Fetch Data from BounceWatch API

Now let us connect to the BounceWatch API. You will need your API key from the BounceWatch developer portal. All examples use Node.js since our backend is Next.js API routes.

First, set up a reusable API client:

// lib/bouncewatch.js
const BOUNCEWATCH_API_BASE = 'https://api.bouncewatch.com/v1';
const API_KEY = process.env.BOUNCEWATCH_API_KEY;

async function fetchFromAPI(endpoint, params = {}) {
  const url = new URL(`${BOUNCEWATCH_API_BASE}${endpoint}`);
  Object.entries(params).forEach(([key, value]) => {
    url.searchParams.append(key, value);
  });

  const response = await fetch(url.toString(), {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
  });

  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error(`BounceWatch API error: ${response.status} ${response.statusText}`);
  }

  return response.json();
}

// Fetch a single company profile
export async function getCompany(domain) {
  return fetchFromAPI('/company', { domain });
}

// Fetch signals for a company
export async function getCompanySignals(domain, options = {}) {
  return fetchFromAPI('/signals', {
    domain,
    limit: options.limit || 20,
    type: options.type || '',
    since: options.since || '',
  });
}

// Batch enrichment — enrich multiple companies at once
export async function batchEnrich(domains) {
  const response = await fetch(`${BOUNCEWATCH_API_BASE}/batch/enrich`, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({ domains }),
  });

  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error(`Batch enrichment error: ${response.status}`);
  }

  return response.json();
}

export default { getCompany, getCompanySignals, batchEnrich };

Next, create an API route in Next.js that caches responses. This is where the caching layer earns its keep — you do not want every dashboard refresh to hit the external API:

// app/api/signals/route.js
import { getCompanySignals } from '@/lib/bouncewatch';
import { db } from '@/lib/database';

export async function GET(request) {
  const { searchParams } = new URL(request.url);
  const domain = searchParams.get('domain');
  const type = searchParams.get('type') || '';

  // Check cache first
  const cacheKey = `signals:${domain}:${type}`;
  const cached = await db.getCache(cacheKey);

  if (cached && cached.expiresAt > Date.now()) {
    return Response.json(cached.data);
  }

  // Fetch fresh data from BounceWatch
  const signals = await getCompanySignals(domain, { type });

  // Cache for 15 minutes
  await db.setCache(cacheKey, signals, Date.now() + 15 * 60 * 1000);

  return Response.json(signals);
}

For the batch enrichment endpoint, which powers the Hot Accounts List, you will want a background job that runs every 15-30 minutes rather than on-demand fetching. This keeps the dashboard snappy even with hundreds of tracked accounts. If you are building an enrichment pipeline for the first time, our guide on building a company enrichment pipeline covers the data modeling in depth.

// jobs/refreshAccountScores.js
import { batchEnrich, getCompanySignals } from '@/lib/bouncewatch';
import { db } from '@/lib/database';

export async function refreshAccountScores() {
  // Get all tracked domains from the database
  const trackedAccounts = await db.getTrackedAccounts();
  const domains = trackedAccounts.map(a => a.domain);

  // Batch enrich in chunks of 25
  for (let i = 0; i < domains.length; i += 25) {
    const chunk = domains.slice(i, i + 25);
    const enriched = await batchEnrich(chunk);

    for (const company of enriched.results) {
      // Fetch recent signals for scoring
      const signals = await getCompanySignals(company.domain, {
        limit: 10,
        since: new Date(Date.now() - 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000).toISOString(),
      });

      // Calculate composite score
      const score = calculateAccountScore(company, signals);

      // Update database
      await db.updateAccountScore(company.domain, {
        ...company,
        signals: signals.data,
        score,
        scoredAt: new Date().toISOString(),
      });
    }
  }
}

Step 3 — Build the Signal Feed Component

The signal feed is the heartbeat of your dashboard. It gives reps a live pulse on what is happening across their accounts. Here is a React component that fetches and displays signals with filtering:

// components/SignalFeed.jsx
'use client';

import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

const SIGNAL_TYPES = [
  { value: '', label: 'All Signals' },
  { value: 'funding', label: 'Funding' },
  { value: 'hiring', label: 'Hiring Surge' },
  { value: 'leadership', label: 'Leadership Change' },
  { value: 'product', label: 'Product Launch' },
  { value: 'risk', label: 'Risk Alert' },
  { value: 'partnership', label: 'Partnership' },
];

const SIGNAL_COLORS = {
  funding: 'bg-green-100 text-green-800 border-green-200',
  hiring: 'bg-blue-100 text-blue-800 border-blue-200',
  leadership: 'bg-purple-100 text-purple-800 border-purple-200',
  product: 'bg-yellow-100 text-yellow-800 border-yellow-200',
  risk: 'bg-red-100 text-red-800 border-red-200',
  partnership: 'bg-indigo-100 text-indigo-800 border-indigo-200',
};

export default function SignalFeed({ trackedDomains }) {
  const [signals, setSignals] = useState([]);
  const [filter, setFilter] = useState('');
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);

  useEffect(() => {
    async function fetchSignals() {
      setLoading(true);
      try {
        const params = new URLSearchParams({
          domains: trackedDomains.join(','),
          type: filter,
          limit: '50',
        });
        const res = await fetch(`/api/signals/feed?${params}`);
        const data = await res.json();
        setSignals(data.signals || []);
      } catch (err) {
        console.error('Failed to fetch signals:', err);
      } finally {
        setLoading(false);
      }
    }

    fetchSignals();
    // Refresh every 5 minutes
    const interval = setInterval(fetchSignals, 5 * 60 * 1000);
    return () => clearInterval(interval);
  }, [trackedDomains, filter]);

  function timeAgo(dateString) {
    const seconds = Math.floor((Date.now() - new Date(dateString)) / 1000);
    if (seconds < 3600) return `${Math.floor(seconds / 60)}m ago`;
    if (seconds < 86400) return `${Math.floor(seconds / 3600)}h ago`;
    return `${Math.floor(seconds / 86400)}d ago`;
  }

  return (
    <div className="bg-white rounded-xl shadow-sm border border-gray-200">
      <div className="p-4 border-b border-gray-100 flex items-center justify-between">
        <h2 className="text-lg font-semibold text-gray-900">Signal Feed</h2>
        <select
          value={filter}
          onChange={(e) => setFilter(e.target.value)}
          className="text-sm border border-gray-300 rounded-lg px-3 py-1.5"
        >
          {SIGNAL_TYPES.map(type => (
            <option key={type.value} value={type.value}>{type.label}</option>
          ))}
        </select>
      </div>

      <div className="divide-y divide-gray-50 max-h-[600px] overflow-y-auto">
        {loading ? (
          <div className="p-8 text-center text-gray-500">Loading signals...</div>
        ) : signals.length === 0 ? (
          <div className="p-8 text-center text-gray-500">No signals found</div>
        ) : (
          signals.map((signal) => (
            <div key={signal.id} className="p-4 hover:bg-gray-50 transition-colors">
              <div className="flex items-start justify-between">
                <div className="flex-1">
                  <div className="flex items-center gap-2 mb-1">
                    <span className="font-medium text-gray-900">
                      {signal.company_name}
                    </span>
                    <span className={`text-xs px-2 py-0.5 rounded-full border
                      ${SIGNAL_COLORS[signal.type] || 'bg-gray-100 text-gray-600'}`}>
                      {signal.type}
                    </span>
                  </div>
                  <p className="text-sm text-gray-600">{signal.description}</p>
                </div>
                <span className="text-xs text-gray-400 whitespace-nowrap ml-4">
                  {timeAgo(signal.created_at)}
                </span>
              </div>
            </div>
          ))
        )}
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}

A few design decisions worth noting. The feed auto-refreshes every five minutes — aggressive enough to catch breaking signals, conservative enough to keep API costs low. The color-coded signal badges let reps scan the feed visually without reading every line. And the max-h-[600px] with overflow scroll prevents the feed from pushing other widgets off screen.

For teams that want even faster signal awareness, you can add browser notifications for high-priority signals. A funding round above $10M or a key executive departure could trigger a desktop notification that pulls the rep back to the dashboard immediately.

Step 4 — Account Scoring Widget

Raw signals are useful, but a composite account score is what turns a dashboard into a decision engine. The scoring widget combines BounceWatch signal data with your CRM context to produce a single number that answers: "How ready is this account to buy?"

Here is a scoring function that weighs different signal types and recency. This is the same logic pattern used in signal-based lead scoring, adapted for a dashboard context:

// lib/scoring.js

const SIGNAL_WEIGHTS = {
  funding: 25,          // Strong buying signal — new budget available
  hiring: 15,           // Growth mode — likely investing in tools
  product: 10,          // Active development — may need new vendors
  partnership: 10,      // Expanding ecosystem — integration opportunities
  leadership: 8,        // New leaders bring new vendors
  expansion: 20,        // New markets = new needs
  risk_layoff: -15,     // Budget tightening
  risk_shutdown: -30,   // Deal in jeopardy
  risk_executive_exit: -10, // Decision-maker may have left
};

const RECENCY_MULTIPLIERS = {
  7: 1.0,    // Last 7 days — full weight
  14: 0.8,   // 8-14 days — 80%
  30: 0.5,   // 15-30 days — 50%
  90: 0.2,   // 31-90 days — 20%
};

export function calculateAccountScore(company, signals) {
  let signalScore = 0;
  const now = Date.now();

  for (const signal of signals.data || []) {
    const daysAgo = Math.floor((now - new Date(signal.created_at)) / 86400000);
    const weight = SIGNAL_WEIGHTS[signal.type] || 5;

    // Apply recency decay
    let multiplier = 0.1; // Default for very old signals
    for (const [days, mult] of Object.entries(RECENCY_MULTIPLIERS)) {
      if (daysAgo <= parseInt(days)) {
        multiplier = mult;
        break;
      }
    }

    signalScore += weight * multiplier;
  }

  // Company size factor — mid-market is the sweet spot for most B2B
  let sizeFactor = 1.0;
  const employees = company.employee_count || 0;
  if (employees >= 50 && employees <= 500) sizeFactor = 1.2;
  else if (employees >= 501 && employees <= 2000) sizeFactor = 1.1;
  else if (employees < 10) sizeFactor = 0.6;

  // Funding stage factor
  let fundingFactor = 1.0;
  if (company.funding_stage === 'series_a') fundingFactor = 1.1;
  else if (company.funding_stage === 'series_b') fundingFactor = 1.3;
  else if (company.funding_stage === 'series_c') fundingFactor = 1.2;

  const rawScore = signalScore * sizeFactor * fundingFactor;

  // Normalize to 0-100
  return Math.min(100, Math.max(0, Math.round(rawScore)));
}

export function getScoreLabel(score) {
  if (score >= 80) return { label: 'Hot', color: 'text-red-600 bg-red-50' };
  if (score >= 60) return { label: 'Warm', color: 'text-orange-600 bg-orange-50' };
  if (score >= 40) return { label: 'Active', color: 'text-yellow-600 bg-yellow-50' };
  if (score >= 20) return { label: 'Cool', color: 'text-blue-600 bg-blue-50' };
  return { label: 'Cold', color: 'text-gray-600 bg-gray-50' };
}

Now the React component that displays this score alongside company details:

// components/AccountScorecard.jsx
'use client';

import { getScoreLabel } from '@/lib/scoring';

export default function AccountScorecard({ account }) {
  const { label, color } = getScoreLabel(account.score);

  return (
    <div className="bg-white rounded-xl shadow-sm border border-gray-200 p-5">
      <div className="flex items-start justify-between mb-4">
        <div>
          <h3 className="text-lg font-semibold text-gray-900">
            {account.company_name}
          </h3>
          <p className="text-sm text-gray-500">
            {account.industry} · {account.employee_count} employees ·
            {account.location}
          </p>
        </div>
        <div className={`text-center px-4 py-2 rounded-lg ${color}`}>
          <div className="text-2xl font-bold">{account.score}</div>
          <div className="text-xs font-medium uppercase">{label}</div>
        </div>
      </div>

      <div className="grid grid-cols-3 gap-3 mb-4">
        <div className="bg-gray-50 rounded-lg p-3">
          <div className="text-xs text-gray-500">Funding</div>
          <div className="text-sm font-medium">{account.total_funding || 'N/A'}</div>
        </div>
        <div className="bg-gray-50 rounded-lg p-3">
          <div className="text-xs text-gray-500">Signals (30d)</div>
          <div className="text-sm font-medium">{account.signal_count_30d}</div>
        </div>
        <div className="bg-gray-50 rounded-lg p-3">
          <div className="text-xs text-gray-500">Last Contact</div>
          <div className="text-sm font-medium">{account.last_contact || 'Never'}</div>
        </div>
      </div>

      <div className="border-t border-gray-100 pt-3">
        <h4 className="text-xs font-medium text-gray-500 uppercase mb-2">
          Recent Signals
        </h4>
        <div className="space-y-2">
          {account.recent_signals?.slice(0, 3).map((signal) => (
            <div key={signal.id} className="flex items-center text-sm">
              <span className="w-2 h-2 rounded-full bg-blue-400 mr-2" />
              <span className="text-gray-700">{signal.description}</span>
            </div>
          ))}
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}

The scoring system is intentionally transparent. Reps can see why an account scores high — the recent signals are listed right below the score. This builds trust in the system. If reps do not understand the score, they will not act on it. Transparency drives adoption.

You should also expose the scoring weights as a configuration that sales leaders can adjust. Every team has a different ICP. A company selling developer tools might weight hiring signals higher, while an enterprise security vendor cares more about compliance-related signals. As HubSpot's research consistently shows, the best scoring models are the ones your team actually trusts and iterates on.

Step 5 — Risk Alert Monitor

Opportunity signals get all the attention, but risk signals save deals. The risk monitor watches for negative signals across your entire portfolio and surfaces them before they blindside your team.

Here is the alert component:

// components/RiskMonitor.jsx
'use client';

import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

const SEVERITY_CONFIG = {
  critical: {
    bg: 'bg-red-50 border-red-200',
    icon: '⚠',
    text: 'text-red-800',
  },
  high: {
    bg: 'bg-orange-50 border-orange-200',
    icon: '●',
    text: 'text-orange-800',
  },
  medium: {
    bg: 'bg-yellow-50 border-yellow-200',
    icon: '○',
    text: 'text-yellow-800',
  },
};

const RISK_ACTIONS = {
  risk_layoff: 'Accelerate close — budget review likely within 30 days',
  risk_shutdown: 'Escalate immediately — evaluate deal viability',
  risk_executive_exit: 'Identify new champion — decision-maker may have changed',
  risk_downround: 'Review payment terms — cash position may be strained',
  risk_traffic_decline: 'Monitor closely — may indicate product-market issues',
};

export default function RiskMonitor() {
  const [alerts, setAlerts] = useState([]);
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);

  useEffect(() => {
    async function fetchRiskAlerts() {
      setLoading(true);
      try {
        const res = await fetch('/api/signals/risks');
        const data = await res.json();
        setAlerts(data.alerts || []);
      } catch (err) {
        console.error('Failed to fetch risk alerts:', err);
      } finally {
        setLoading(false);
      }
    }

    fetchRiskAlerts();
    const interval = setInterval(fetchRiskAlerts, 10 * 60 * 1000);
    return () => clearInterval(interval);
  }, []);

  function getSeverity(signal) {
    if (signal.type === 'risk_shutdown') return 'critical';
    if (signal.type === 'risk_layoff' || signal.type === 'risk_executive_exit')
      return 'high';
    return 'medium';
  }

  if (loading) return <div className="p-4 text-gray-500">Loading risk data...</div>;

  return (
    <div className="bg-white rounded-xl shadow-sm border border-gray-200">
      <div className="p-4 border-b border-gray-100 flex items-center justify-between">
        <h2 className="text-lg font-semibold text-gray-900">Risk Monitor</h2>

The key design pattern here is actionable alerts. Every risk signal comes with a suggested next step. This transforms the risk monitor from a scary red list into a coaching tool. Junior reps learn what to do when they see a layoff signal. Senior reps get reminded of best practices they might skip under pressure.

For teams using Signal Tracker for sales teams, many of these risk signals are already being tracked. The dashboard simply presents them in a format optimized for sales workflows rather than general monitoring.

Step 6 — Deploy and Iterate

You have the components built. Now let us get this dashboard in front of your team.

Hosting Options

For internal sales dashboards, you have several solid choices:

• Vercel: The natural home for Next.js apps. Free tier works for small teams. Automatic deployments from Git. Edge functions for fast global access.
• Railway or Render: Full-stack hosting with built-in PostgreSQL. Good for teams that want everything in one place without managing infrastructure.
• Self-hosted: A simple VPS with Docker. Maximum control, minimum cost. Best for teams with strict data residency requirements.

For most sales teams, Vercel plus a managed PostgreSQL instance (Neon, Supabase, or PlanetScale) is the fastest path to production.

Refresh Cadence

Not all data needs the same freshness:

Data Type	Refresh Interval	Reason
Signal feed	5-15 minutes	Signals are time-sensitive — acting first matters
Account scores	15-30 minutes	Score changes are gradual, not instant
Company profiles	6-24 hours	Firmographic data changes slowly
Risk alerts	10 minutes	Negative signals demand fast response
Velocity charts	1 hour	Trend data does not change minute-to-minute

Team Feedback Loop

The first version of your dashboard will be wrong. Not broken — wrong. The signal weights will not match your ICP. The layout will put the wrong widget front and center. A critical data point will be missing. This is expected and healthy.

Build a feedback mechanism into the dashboard from day one:

• Signal relevance voting: Let reps thumbs-up or thumbs-down individual signals. Use this data to tune your scoring weights over time.
• Weekly retro: Five-minute standup — "What did the dashboard get right this week? What did it miss?" Track these in a shared doc.
• Usage analytics: Instrument which widgets reps actually use. If nobody clicks the velocity chart, replace it with something they need.
• Custom filters: Let reps save filtered views for their territory, industry vertical, or deal stage. A dashboard that does not adapt to individual workflows gets abandoned.

The best sales intelligence dashboards are living products. They evolve weekly based on what the team learns. The BounceWatch API gives you the raw material — signals, company data, enrichment — but the presentation layer should be shaped by the people who use it every day.

Going Further

Once your core dashboard is running, here are high-impact extensions to consider:

• Slack integration: Push high-priority signals to a team Slack channel. When a tracked account raises a $20M Series B, the whole team should know within minutes.
• CRM sync: Write signal data and scores back to Salesforce or HubSpot. This enriches your CRM records without forcing reps to switch contexts.
• Email templates: Generate personalized outreach templates based on the latest signal. "Congratulations on the Series B" is a better opener than "I noticed your company on our list."
• Territory heatmaps: Visualize signal density across geographic regions or industry verticals. This helps sales leaders allocate headcount to where the signals are strongest.

For developer communities building similar integrations, dev.to has excellent threads on building internal tools with Next.js and third-party APIs. The patterns from this tutorial translate directly to other data sources too — combining multiple APIs into a single pane of glass is a skill that scales across every tool your team touches.

Start Building Your Sales Intelligence Dashboard

Your sales team deserves better than five tabs and a prayer. A custom-built sales intelligence dashboard powered by the BounceWatch API replaces scattered workflows with a single screen that answers: "Who should I talk to today, and what should I say?"

To recap what we built:

1. Signal Feed — live timeline of company events filtered by type and relevance
2. Account Scorecard — composite scoring that combines signals, firmographics, and CRM data
3. Hot Accounts List — ranked by buying readiness, updated every 15 minutes
4. Risk Monitor — negative signals with suggested actions, so your team reacts before it is too late
5. Signal Velocity Chart — trend analysis for strategic planning

The BounceWatch API provides the foundation: real-time company signals, batch enrichment, and comprehensive company profiles. You bring the frontend and the workflow logic that makes it specific to your team.
