MARKET INTELLIGENCE — DEMAND SIGNALS
Owners ignore demand scores when they can’t see how they work.
A demand score you cannot open is a score you will eventually ignore, and you would be right to. When it disagrees with what an experienced operator can see out of the window, there is no way to tell which is wrong. Every weighting here is written down and adjustable by you.

WHO THIS IS FOR
Operators who have already cancelled a demand-data subscription because the number never explained itself.
THE PROBLEM
So the score gets ignored, which is the expensive outcome — you have paid for a signal and are still deciding on instinct. A number is only worth having if you can interrogate it on the day it surprises you, and that means its construction has to be visible.

Why it sits at 138
Two events let out between 10:30 and 11:00 pm, and rain is now forecast from 11. Bookings are a little ahead of a normal Friday. Late flights are about normal and barely move it.
- Saturday, same hours
- 131 against an ordinary Saturday · high, steady since Tuesday
- Weights last changed
- By you, Sep 18: rain 15% to 20%, airport 15% to 10%
It informs how many cars go out tonight. It does not call drivers in or change anything; you decide.
What you get.
- An index with every component and weighting set out.
- Weightings you can change yourself as you learn what predicts your demand.
- Movement classification, so a fast climb reads differently from a high level.
- A plain-language explanation of why the index sits where it does today.
How it works.
Priced against the scope, after a Diagnostic that is small on purpose. The shape of the work we can tell you now.
- THE SHAPE
- Built, then run, with the weightings left under your control, not ours.
- WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
- Your own demand history, so the signal can be tested against something real.
- WHAT YOU KEEP
- The index definition and the data underneath it.
What this does not include.
Published because you should know before the call, not after the invoice.
- A proprietary score we will not explain.
- Automatic action. The index informs a decision; it does not make one.
QUESTIONS
How do we know the signal means anything?
Because it is measured against your own demand, continuously, and reported in full — including the periods when the correlation is weak.
Can we change the weightings ourselves?
Yes. They are configuration, not code, and changing them does not require us or a support ticket.

WHERE THIS APPLIES
The industries whose page names Market Intelligence as one of the places we would start. Each one is written for that trade, with its own numbers.
Bring us one bad week.
Book a pilot call. Tell us where the week goes wrong, and we’ll tell you what an Operations Diagnostic would map and measure.
The first paid step has a clear scope and an end date, and the pilot after it is one workflow — not a platform, and not an open-ended retainer.
