The relevant vertical is determined by who you are selling to, not what you sell. If you sell a data security product to financial services companies, the Financial Services vertical page is your guide. If you sell HR software to SaaS companies, the HR Technology page covers your buyer signals. Each vertical guide covers the buying signals and procurement patterns of the companies in that industry.
Yes. Most Kairos clients sell into 2–4 verticals simultaneously — for example, a compliance software vendor may target financial services, healthcare, and legal simultaneously. Intelligence runs are configured around the client's full ICP, not a single vertical. The vertical pages on this site describe the signal framework for each industry; a real Kairos report blends multiple frameworks based on the client's target market.
Signal source coverage and frameworks are reviewed and updated quarterly. Regulatory calendars are updated as new requirements are published. The vertical pages on this site reflect the current framework — if a major new regulatory requirement is published that affects a covered vertical, the relevant page is updated within 30 days.
