SignalDesk is an always-on editorial foresight platform that reads coverage, search momentum, public conversation, and prediction markets to surface credible PR opportunities for brands, ranked by timing, credibility, and fit.

How is SignalDesk different from Foresight Factory or other strategic foresight consultancies?

Traditional strategic foresight is delivered as quarterly research reports. SignalDesk is a self-serve, always-on platform that surfaces sourced opportunities continuously, with every signal traceable to a public source.

How much does SignalDesk cost?

Plans start at $18/month. A free brand scan with no credit card is available on the homepage.

Where do SignalDesk's signals come from?

Public news coverage, search trend data, public social conversation, prediction-market activity, and journalist reporter queries — every signal is sourced and traceable.
