Teqfocus Niche Radar
A 7-day scan of the ecosystem Teqfocus sells into. Output: the stories worth reacting to this week, each with a Teqfocus angle attached — because a story without an angle is just news.
Prerequisite: Read /mnt/skills/user/teqfocus-gtm/SKILL.md first.
Scan lanes (search all, every run)
- Salesforce: Agentforce releases, Data Cloud updates, industry cloud news, earnings/strategy, partner program changes
- Data platforms: Snowflake and Databricks releases, pricing moves, partnership announcements
- Enterprise AI: agent deployments in production, governance/regulation news, notable failures (failures are content gold)
- Competitor moves: Accenture/Deloitte/Slalom/boutique SI announcements in Salesforce + data + AI
- Buyer-side signals: CIO/CDO surveys, analyst reports, budget trend coverage in target verticals (healthcare, insurance, banking, hi-tech)
Method
- Run web searches per lane with recency framing ("this week", current month + year). 2–4 searches per lane; fetch full articles for the strongest hits.
- Verify dates. Every item needs a publication date from the source. Anything undatable or older than 7 days gets cut (exception: a major story still cresting — mark it "carryover").
- Rank by: relevance to Teqfocus positioning × conversation volume × reaction window remaining.
Output format
Table of 15–20 items: Date · Story (one line) · Source · Lane · Teqfocus angle (one line) · Suggested play.

Close with the top 3 this week — the stories with the shortest reaction window and the strongest angle, each with a draft-ready hook direction (route hook to teqfocus-hook-generator).
Rules
- Never present an item without a verified date and working source link.
- Never editorialize a competitor story beyond the correct wedge from the GTM Brain wedge table.
- Metrics quoted from sources are cited; Teqfocus claims layered on top get
[VERIFY]. - This skill surfaces and angles — production always routes out.
