kalkoHow Kalko sources and checks its data
Kalko reads public sources about each account, such as job posts, filings, news, forums and company sites, plus the systems you connect. Every claim links to its source and the date it was published. Nothing sends until a person approves it.
Key takeaways
- Every claim in Kalko shows its source and the date that source was published.
- A quote goes into a message only if code finds the exact words in the captured page.
- Every signal comes from public or customer-permissioned sources.
Which sources does Kalko read?
- Job posts on company careers pages and job boards.
- Filings, for companies that file with the SEC.
- News and press releases.
- Forums and public posts, including buyers describing a problem in their own words.
- Company websites.
- The systems you connect yourself, such as Attio or Reply.io.
Which sources does Kalko not use?
Kalko does not use insider information. Every signal comes from a public source, such as a job post or a filing, or from a system you connect yourself.
How does Kalko check a quote?
A model can paraphrase while it claims to quote. So Kalko checks quotes with code, not by asking the model.
- Kalko captures the source page and keeps its text.
- Code looks for the exact words of the quote in that text, ignoring only differences in quote marks, dashes, spacing and letter case.
- The match has to be whole words. A short fragment inside a longer word does not count.
- The page has to belong to the account: its own domain, its own job board, or a page that names the company.
- A quote that fails either check is not used.
How does Kalko rank accounts?
Fit tells you which companies match your buyer: industry, size and location. Need tells you who has a reason to buy now, such as a job post written around the problem you solve. Kalko ranks by need.
- Kalko reads public signals for the accounts in your market, such as job posts, filings and buyer posts.
- It writes a short case for each account, with the evidence and a check for reasons to skip it.
- It ranks accounts by need and proposes a few plays each week. A quiet week can have zero plays.
- You approve each play, and Kalko writes the approved values into your own sender. Only Autopilot, once you arm it, enrolls people on its own.
What does each claim show?
- The words from the source, so you can see what the company said.
- A link to the exact page the claim came from.
- The date that page was published.
What are the limits?
- Kalko only knows what a company made public or what you connected. A project with no public trace stays invisible.
- Most private companies file nothing with the SEC, so their accounts rely on job posts, news and public posts.
- Ranking by need can leave a quiet week with zero plays. That is on purpose, not a gap in the data.
