Changelog

Shipping, continuously.

What changed in OpsControl and when. The machine improves most weeks; the record of it lives here.

  1. Vector and Sentinel redesigned

    Vector now opens on your standings: where you rank against the companies you track, on the measures you choose. Messaging, pricing and a head-to-head face-off with any rival are a click away. Sentinel keeps everything it writes in one library of reports, battlecards, frameworks and action plans. Its advice draws on a shelf of 31 strategy and marketing books, and whenever it advises, it names the idea and the book it comes from, so you get the thinking without the reading. The War room tests a move against what each competitor has done before you make it, and Track record shows every call Sentinel has made and how it turned out. New Vector and Sentinel customers now start with a short welcome built from their own market.

  2. Scout redesigned, and a cleaner OpsControl

    Scout now opens on the most important competitor move of the day: what happened, why it matters to you, and the window it opens, with up to three other moves worth knowing alongside it. Competitor cards show each company’s latest move and its week at a glance, and every company carries its logo. What changed, Briefings, Account and Messages share the same calmer design, and your latest briefing now shows its lead, what to watch next and the recommended play before you open it. Settings, billing and team live in the account menu. We also fixed the activity chart not drawing on first load and the signal feed not loading when you arrived from a link in an email, and anything you mark not relevant now leaves What changed as well as the feed.

  3. Coverage reaches 30+ sources per company

    Five new source families went live across every monitored company in a single day: public-sector contract awards, security disclosures, app marketplace activity, workforce changes, and patent activity. Every company we watch is now covered by more than thirty distinct sources, continuously.

  4. The Track Record goes public

    Our market pages now make dated, falsifiable calls each week, and grade them in the open once their horizons pass. Misses stay up. Nothing on the record can be quietly removed. No one else in this category keeps public score, because being checkable is expensive when you are wrong. We think it is the whole point.

  5. Competitor files open straight into the product

    A competitor file is a live page tracking one company’s market, updating itself until it freezes thirty days later. Claiming a file now opens a trial that picks up exactly where the file left off, with its history already loaded.

  6. Automatic market mapping

    Name a company and its competitive set is mapped automatically: real rivals in the same market, verified live, with an honest empty answer when the picture is too thin to be sure. No hand-listing competitors to get started.

  7. Market Pulse: public weekly reads

    Weekly, evidence-grounded writing on the software categories we track continuously, free to read. Every claim is dated. Quiet weeks are reported as quiet weeks.

  8. Pricing moves, stated precisely

    Price and packaging changes are reported as exact before-and-after moves: "Business: $49 to $40, SSO added, new Enterprise tier." Never "the pricing page changed." If a rival repriced overnight, you should know what changed, not that something did.

  9. Evidence receipts on every signal

    Every signal carries a clickable receipt back to the captured source it came from. Claims you can verify beat confidence scores you have to trust.

  10. A taste of Sentinel in every trial

    Every free trial includes a three-day Sentinel pass: the full strategic layer, unlocked, no upgrade needed to see what the top tier actually does.

  11. Scout, Vector, Sentinel

    The three layers of the platform: what happened in your market, where you stand in it, and what to do about it. Sentinel’s recommendations become scored calls with horizons, so the advisor keeps a record of its own advice.
