Most enterprise deals are decided before the RFP is written. Kairos tells you which ones are being decided right now — and exactly how long the window stays open.

Built for B2B revenue teams at companies between $5M and $100M targeting enterprise or mid-market accounts.
Proof runs from $2,000. Monthly retainers from $2,500. View pricing →

The Problem
Apollo gives you contacts. ZoomInfo gives you data. Neither tells you that a company just replaced their VP Sales, opened 14 AE roles, and has a budget approved with no vendor selected. That is not a lead. That is an open door. Kairos finds the open doors.
Your sequence fires when the contact hits the list. The buying window opened — and closed — weeks earlier. Timing is the one variable every tool ignores, and the one that determines whether your email gets a reply or gets deleted.
A job post tells you something is happening. It doesn't tell you who owns the budget, what they've already evaluated, what the decision timeline looks like, or what angle gives you the best shot at a response.
Doing this properly takes 15+ hours a week per researcher. A dedicated analyst costs $80K–$120K annually. Most founder-led teams can't justify either. So the research doesn't get done — or gets done badly enough that it doesn't move the number.
What every report contains
The specific thing that happened — sourced, dated, cited — that created the buying window. Not an intent score. An actual event with a verifiable source.
The internal context that makes the signal meaningful — a new mandate, a budget cycle, a deadline. Why this window is real and why it closes on a specific date.
The role that owns the budget, their publicly visible priorities, their likely buying stage, and a direct path to reach them. No guessing at org charts.
A budget range built from comparable deals, scope signals, and headcount indicators. Wide enough to be honest. Narrow enough to position a proposal.
The number of days before this window closes — calculated from the event date, procurement timelines, and urgency signals. Not 'high intent.' An actual number.
Email, LinkedIn message, and call script — written for this target, around this specific trigger. Not a template with a name swapped in.

“Kairos delivered on day 14. The market became aware on day 47. That 33-day gap is the window — and why it closes before most teams know it was open.”
Data tells you a company exists. Intelligence tells you they are buying, who controls the decision, and how many days remain before the window closes. Every Kairos report follows the same three-stage process to get from signal to answer.
We monitor hundreds of structured and unstructured sources — funding announcements, executive hires, procurement signals, job post velocity, partnership disclosures, and regulatory filings. When a combination of signals points to an active buying cycle, the target enters the intelligence queue.
Sources monitored: SEC filings · LinkedIn velocity · job post delta · press indexing · procurement databases
We identify who controls the budget, who influences the decision, and who to avoid. We estimate deal size from headcount, spend signals, and comparable transactions. We calculate how long the buying window is likely to remain open.
The report closes with a recommended outreach posture — what the buyer is prioritising right now, what problem they are trying to solve in the next 90 days, and the specific angle most likely to open a conversation. No guessing. No spray and pray.
Sample angle
They are rebuilding outbound from scratch after replacing their VP Sales. First priority is pipeline in the enterprise segment. Lead with speed-to-pipeline, not product features. Budget is approved. Window closes when the new team is hired.
Every brief is specific, sourced, and ready to act on. This is a sample extract — anonymised but structurally identical to a live report.
Kairos Intelligence Brief · Sample Extract · Confidential
Series B AI Infrastructure Company · Enterprise segment · North America
Report generated: June 2026 · Sources verified · Ready for outreach
Most enterprise deals are lost before outreach begins. The window opened, competitors arrived first, and the budget committed to someone else. The teams that win consistently are not better at selling. They are earlier to the conversation.
Two anonymised cases. Same pattern: the account was not new. The window was.
Signal in Action · Case 01 · Details anonymised
ClosedSeries B Cybersecurity Vendor · Enterprise Financial Services · North America
The client had been running cold outbound to a target account for seven months with zero replies. The account matched their ICP precisely — mid-market financial services, 400–600 employees, active compliance posture. Timing was the problem, not fit.
Signals Detected
Timing & Approach
Client entered outreach on Day 44 of new CISO tenure — 3 days after the Kairos report was delivered.
Led with the SOC 2 renewal context and the new CISO mandate, not the product. Positioned as a compliance acceleration partner arriving at the right moment — not a vendor cold-pitching features.
Outcome
Discovery call booked within 72 hours of first contact. Security evaluation formally opened at week 3. Contract signed at week 11. The client had been targeting this account for seven months before the window. Kairos identified the window in the first report run.
Signal in Action · Case 02 · Details anonymised
ClosedMid-Market SaaS Analytics Vendor · Enterprise Retail · North America
The client had been rejected by this account twice in the prior year. Standard ICP match — revenue band, tech stack, team size. The prior rejections were timing failures, not fit failures. No one knew a decision cycle was forming.
Signals Detected
Timing & Approach
Client reached out at week 1 of the identified window — before any competitor outreach was detectable.
Led with the new CFO's enterprise background and their likely mandate to upgrade reporting infrastructure. Positioned around institutional-grade analytics, not feature comparison. Did not reference the prior rejections.
Outcome
Reply received within 48 hours — the first positive response this account had given the client in 14 months of outreach. Shortlisted within 2 weeks as the only vendor to reach the evaluation stage from cold outreach. Deal progressed to final commercial review.
Company names, industries, and identifying details have been anonymised. Signal types, timing, and outreach approaches reflect actual Kairos Intelligence methodology. Outcomes are representative of real signal patterns.

See pricing →Buyer signal intelligence is the practice of monitoring digital and commercial data sources to identify when a company is entering an active buying cycle — before they issue an RFP, before they contact vendors, and before your competitors know the opportunity exists.
Traditional sales intelligence tools like Apollo or ZoomInfo provide contact data. Buyer signal intelligence provides timing data: which companies are buying, what they are buying, who is making the decision, what their budget range is, and how long the window is open.
Kairos monitors over 40 signal categories to construct a complete intelligence picture for each target — delivering a triggering event, buyer profile, budget estimate, urgency score, and outreach kit within 48 hours. Read our full methodology →
Buyer signal intelligence is the practice of monitoring digital and commercial data sources to identify when a company is entering an active buying cycle — before they issue an RFP, before they contact vendors, and before your competitors know the opportunity exists.

Kairos sells timing intelligence — a complete research report per target company that includes the specific event triggering buying intent, a decision-maker profile, a budget estimate, an urgency score, and a full outreach kit. The correct comparison is not a database tool; it is a junior research analyst working exclusively on your pipeline.
