Methodology

the Heptascore signal-scoring framework

Heptascore is how heptaloop rates every signal for reliability, urgency, and confidence, so teams act on the evidence that matters most instead of the loudest noise in the room

What it measures

three sub-scores, combined into one defensible number

every signal Acquire collects is scored along the same three dimensions before Analyze recommends a next move, so the reasoning behind each decision stays transparent and repeatable

01

reliability

how trustworthy the signal is, weighed against source lineage, corroboration across sources, and a track record of historical accuracy

02

urgency

how quickly the signal demands action before its value decays, so time-sensitive evidence rises above signals that can wait

03

confidence

how strongly the available evidence supports a recommended next move, so teams know when to act decisively and when to gather more

How it works

scoring runs inside Analyze, on the governed data Acquire collects

Heptascore is not a black box, each score carries the evidence behind it, so analysts and decision scientists can inspect why a signal ranked the way it did

The scoring loop

from raw signal to ranked next move

  • acquire captures governed signals with lineage and permissions intact
  • each signal is scored for reliability, urgency, and confidence
  • the highest-scoring evidence surfaces as a recommended next move
  • outcomes feed back so the next score is sharper than the last
Glossary

key terms in the heptaloop methodology

Heptascore

heptaloop's signal-scoring framework, combining reliability, urgency, and confidence into one score for every signal

Source Reliability Score

a rating of how dependable each data source is before its signals are allowed into the governed market graph

market graph

the governed layer where consumer, market, competitor, and first-party signals are unified, scored, and made ready for AI agents to act on

next-best action

the recommended move that Analyze surfaces from the highest-scoring evidence, always paired with the reasoning behind it

FAQ

frequently asked questions

quick answers about the Heptascore framework

what is Heptascore?

Heptascore is heptaloop's signal-scoring framework that rates every signal for reliability, urgency, and confidence so teams act on what matters most

how is Heptascore calculated?

Heptascore combines three sub-scores — reliability, urgency, and confidence — for every signal, weighting trustworthy, time-sensitive, well-supported evidence above noisy or stale inputs

what is the difference between Heptascore and a Source Reliability Score?

a Source Reliability Score rates how dependable a data source is before its signals enter the market graph; Heptascore then scores each individual signal for reliability, urgency, and confidence so teams know which move to make

where is Heptascore used in the platform?

Heptascore runs inside Analyze, scoring the governed signals that Acquire collects so Interact, Share, and Promote act on the evidence that matters most
