Problem
Brands measured impressions while real buying signals sat unmonetized in social feeds. No one had closed the loop from Twitter purchase intent to attributable QSR revenue.
Decision
Co-founded and made the core bet: real-time intent detection with assisted response over generic social publishing. Built intent scoring, human-in-the-loop approval, redemption tracking, and trust calibration so high-confidence signals moved autonomously while low-confidence required human review.
Artifacts
- · Intent scoring model
- · HITL approval workflow
- · Lifecycle automation
- · Trust calibration pattern
Why it worked
Trust calibration — autonomous on high confidence, human on low — turned a noisy signal into a defensible product. Scaled to 5 countries on $17M raised.
