Roadmap

Upcoming enhancements to the Autobound Signal Database, including new data sources, schema improvements, and platform capabilities.

This roadmap outlines planned enhancements to the Signal Database. Timelines are estimates and subject to change based on customer feedback.


In Progress

May '26 - Full Coverage Windows + Date Range Folders (est. May 12)

Delivery batches will cover their full date range with no gaps, and folder names will reflect the actual data period inside. Expect 8-15% more signals per batch due to eliminated tail-end gaps. See changelog →

May '26 - LinkedIn Comments Timestamps (est. May 12)

⚠️ Breaking — new timestamp fields added, previously-null field now populated.

Populating parent_post.posted_date on LinkedIn Comments signals — this field exists in the schema but was never filled. Also adding a new comment_posted_at field for when the comment itself was posted. Currently detected_at is the only populated time reference (when Autobound ingested the signal, typically 1-3 weeks after the comment was posted). View schema →

New & Updated Fields
FieldTypeChangeDescription
data.comment_posted_atstring (ISO 8601)NewWhen the comment was actually posted on LinkedIn
data.parent_post.posted_datestring (ISO 8601)Now populatedWhen the parent post was published (field existed but was always null)

    "parent_post": {
      "posted_date": "2026-04-14T09:00:00Z"
    }
  }
}

All other fields unchanged.

May '26 - Glassdoor Reviews: 4-5× Volume Increase

Dramatically expanding our Glassdoor monitoring pool through improved company-to-domain matching. Expect 4-5× more review signals per delivery starting with the May batch. No schema changes — same fields, significantly more coverage.

May '26 - Twitter/X Contact Signals: 15-20× Volume Increase

Expanding our Twitter/X contact monitoring pool with enriched handle sourcing. Expect 15-20× more contact-level Twitter signals starting with the May batch. No schema changes — same fields, significantly more coverage.

Mid-May '26 - Daily News

Moving news signals from weekly to daily refresh cadence. During transition, weekly and daily deliveries will run in parallel for 1-2 cycles before the weekly cadence is retired.

May '26 - Product Review Enrichments( est. May 12)

⚠️ Breaking — new fields added to data and data.evidence[] objects.

Adding source URLs and richer evidence metadata to Product Reviews signals.

    ]
  }
}

Review excerpts in the evidence array will also be longer and more detailed.
