--- name: intent-surge description: Reach ICP accounts showing a surge in research on your category, ranked by how fast they are heating up. agent: Katie category: Signals ends_in: draft campaign --- # Intent Surge When an account starts researching your category, the race is on. ## How it runs 1. **Read intent data** for your topics 2. **Keep ICP accounts** with a real surge, not a one-day spike 3. **Rank by speed** of the surge 4. **Draft outreach** for the top accounts 5. **Stop for approval** ## Rules - Stack with a second signal before reaching out when you can - Never mention intent data in the message - Never launch. The play ends at a draft.

- Only sustained surges count, not one-day spikes - A second signal backs the top accounts whenever one exists - The message never mentions intent data
