The right audience at the wrong time is still the wrong audience.
Fit, category context, serviceable geography, and timing work together to inform prioritization.
Potential need / category
Market / territory
Signal recency / demand timing
Fit × Signal × Location × Timing = Prioritization
Conceptual interaction; no numerical weights or production score.
Who: customer fit
Define the offer and the attributes relevant to serving the customer. Demographic resemblance alone does not establish a current need.
What and where: a relevant category in a workable market
Identify the potential need or category, then apply service boundaries, territory ownership, and operating constraints. A relevant observation outside your service area may not be actionable.
When: useful context for the channel
Signal recency and the possible buying cycle help determine when to review an audience. Consider observation delay, campaign lead time, and how quickly your team can respond.
Treat the equation as a framework
Fit × signal × location × timing = prioritization is a conceptual interaction, not a numerical model. The dimensions need documented definitions before any scoring is used.

Signal Recency
Yesterday’s intent is not always today’s demand.
Commercial relevance changes over time. A useful recency strategy reflects the buying cycle and the action the team intends to take.
Explore Signal Recency →Purchase-Journey IntelligenceBuyers leave different signals at different stages.
Signal categories may suggest a possible stage in a buying journey. They cannot deterministically locate an individual on a fixed path.

Demand Score is a framework for organizing available relevance, recency, fit, geography, and activation readiness—not a probability that someone will buy.
