Evidence Signal
40 migrations, about 1,600 tests, 9 architecture rules.

SignalClaw
SignalClaw is a parked OS-layer proof for governed capture, memory, and signal infrastructure in AI-augmented work.

The Problem
What problem was worth solving?
I build things to solve a specific pain, not to decorate a portfolio. This is the pressure that made this project necessary.
CRM and work systems know fragments of what happened, but AI-augmented work needs governed capture, memory, and signal infrastructure.
SignalClaw explored that OS-layer problem through migrations, tests, architecture rules, and deal/work signal models.
The capture adapter is not yet built, so the public claim is intentionally bounded: this is parked proof, not a launched capture product.
The Build
What I built to solve it
A signal infrastructure proof for AI-augmented work: capture adapters, signal detection, cross-system correlation, scoring, and delivery surfaces. The evidence is strongest in architecture, migrations, tests, and rules; the capture adapter remains a known boundary.
Scoring engines
5 analysis models
Deal health (10 dimensions), deal priority (8 factors), task priority, confidence scoring, and entity matching — all deterministic and testable.
Signal types
35+ across 9 categories
Engagement drops, deal velocity, stakeholder coverage, qualification gaps, competitive signals, and more — detected from email, calendar, and CRM activity.
Data platform
16-table secure database
Deals, accounts, people, activities, signals, and scoring history — all with row-level security ensuring data isolation between customers.
Codebase
3,370+ lines · 21 modules
21 well-organized modules with strict type checking, automated quality gates, and comprehensive testing.
Value
What changed because it existed
This is the clearest evidence of practical value, system leverage, and execution quality.
Deal health scoring
10-dimension analysis
Scores deals across stakeholder engagement, qualification depth, competitive position, timeline risk, and 6 more dimensions — revealing the truth behind CRM probabilities.
Contact matching
Intelligent entity resolution
Automatically matches contacts across systems — handling name variations, title changes, and company moves so signals connect to the right people.
Smart alerting
4-stage notification management
Preference filters, quiet hours, deduplication, and daily caps prevent alert fatigue — sellers only see signals that matter.
Data honesty
Context quality assessment
The system knows when it has enough data to be confident vs. when data is thin — and tells the user, preventing false confidence.
Technical Layer
How the system is built
This is the implementation surface behind the work: the architecture choices, operating layers, integrations, and controls that make the project more than an idea.
Python 3.12 / FastAPI
PostgreSQL with row-level security (Azure)
Azure OpenAI (planned for LLM synthesis)
Azure Container Apps (deployment target)
Pydantic v2 strict validation
Pure-function scoring architecture (zero I/O in scoring layer)
6 enforced architecture constraints
Tiered signal processing (T1 heuristic → T2 lightweight LLM → T3 deep LLM)
Build Story
How the thinking unfolded
This is the reasoning path behind the output, not just the finished artifact.
01
Works wherever the seller works
Intelligence is extracted once and delivered to any tool — Microsoft Copilot, Teams, Dynamics, or custom dashboards. The platform is not another app to check; it brings insights to where sellers already are.
02
Scoring you can trust and test
All 5 analysis engines produce deterministic, testable results. The same inputs always produce the same scores — essential for enterprise trust. Evolved from proven SalesSidekick Legacy algorithms.
03
Compliance built from day one
SOC 2 audit logging, GDPR consent management, data erasure support, and row-level customer isolation designed into the database from the first line of code — not retrofitted.
Capability Signal
What this project demonstrates
Each project is a proof point. These are the capabilities it most clearly reveals.
Enterprise Data Architecture
16-table database with row-level security, customer isolation, and compliance infrastructure (audit logs, consent records, erasure support).
Intelligence Algorithm Design
5 analysis engines: 10-dimension deal health, multi-factor priority scoring, confidence assessment, and intelligent contact matching.
Quality Engineering
Comprehensive test coverage across all 21 modules. Strict type checking, automated linting, 6 quality gates, and zero-placeholder policy.
Product Architecture
Extracted and re-architected core algorithms from SalesSidekick Legacy into a standalone platform — designed to work with any CRM, delivered through any AI surface.
