Triggers mapped to what Vertical software sells.

Industry-specific platforms, sold on domain fit. The reason a buyer is switching, before the shortlist.

For vertical software, The Catalyst maps 79 atomic triggers to industry-specific platforms and derives why a buyer is in market.

The problem, and the difference

Vertical software wins on domain fit and timing, but the triggers are industry-specific and missed by horizontal intent tools.

How it’s solved today

You run a generic SaaS playbook and a horizontal intent feed that does not understand a core conversion or a policy-admin modernization.

How Zylabs does it

Hunt maps your platform to its industry triggers (a regulatory shift, a legacy system at end-of-life, an acquisition) and surfaces the buyer in market.

By the time a switch is on the shortlist, the domain incumbent is entrenched.

How it’s solved today

You learn about the core conversion or EHR consolidation when the evaluation is already underway.

How Zylabs does it

Hunt catches the signal early (a core-conversion deliberation in an FDIC filing, an EHR consolidation in board minutes) so you shape the requirements.

You cannot show domain fit without knowing their specific operational mandate.

How it’s solved today

You demo features generically instead of to the regulation or workflow driving the change.

How Zylabs does it

Intel pins the mandate and the angle, so you lead with the domain problem, not a feature tour.

Why it matters

Vertical software wins on domain fit and timing. The triggers, a regulatory shift, a legacy system at end-of-life, an acquisition, an operational mandate, are specific to the industry and missed by horizontal intent tools.
