PSYONIC

Hardware companies with an open API almost always have a second business hiding inside the first.

You sell bionic hands to people, but your public ability-hand-api repo and downloadable ICD quietly run a robotics-integration funnel that a 40-person hardware team isn't instrumenting. Here's the part that's readable today.

The signals you're sitting on
◆ SIGNAL 01

A new star or first visit to the ability-hand-api repo from a robotics org

Reads as
A roboticist kicking the tires on integration. Early evaluation, not yet a partner.
Leaks today
Sits as a GitHub vanity metric; nobody maps the org or the person behind it.
Wire this
Wire repo stars and first clones into a contact view — enrich the org, tag it 'integration evaluating', open a light docs-and-samples nurture. No outreach yet.
◆ SIGNAL 02

A team forks the repo or downloads the touch-sensor ICD/datasheet before a deadline

Reads as
A robotics team mid-evaluation, pulling specs to design against your hand. The buying moment.
Leaks today
A raw download or fork event with no name, no owner, no trigger attached.
Wire this
Fire a real-time alert when the ICD download or a fork comes from a research or robotics domain. Get it to a human while the integration is still on the whiteboard.
◆ SIGNAL 03

Repeated API pulls or a second engineer from the same org appears in commits/issues

Reads as
An internal champion bringing the team in — a partnership about to commit.
Leaks today
Reads as ordinary repo activity; no expansion or partner signal wired.
Wire this
Flag multi-engineer activity from one org as a partnership-expansion trigger and route it to a tailored robotics-integration touch.
◆ If you wire one thing

Decide which repo and datasheet behaviors mean 'a robotics team is about to commit' — the ICD download from a research domain first — and get those to a human instead of letting them die as GitHub stars.
