Feature	Valley Approach	Traditional Automation
Signal Detection	Tracks website visits, LinkedIn likes/comments, Post Saves, Sales Navigator views, and ICP match in real time.	Often limited to generic triggers—e.g. every website visit, every Sales Nav lead.
Lead Enrichment	Automatically pulls firmographics, job title, mutual connections, recent activity.	Manual lookup or basic CRM data—outsourced or outdated.
Persona Fit Check	Applies your ICP filters per Product—role, industry, company size, technographic triggers.	Broad segments or bypassed lead lists.
Messaging Quality	AI crafts personalized cadence—comment reference, mutual intro, signal tie-in—reflecting tone and ICP.	Template-heavy InMails missing context or timeliness.
Timing Execution	Sends messages within hours of your signal—when interest is warm.	Messages sent days/weeks later with less engagement window.
Outcome Tracking	Measures meetings booked, reply quality, pipeline contribution.	Basic open/reply rates; poor visibility on real revenue impact.
