Coming Q3 2026 · First report drops August

Original outbound research — not yet, but soon.

When Mama has enough customer data to publish from, this is where the reports will live. We're not publishing speculation in the meantime. The first report ships August 2026 with at least 50 customer workspaces' worth of anonymized data behind it — that's the bar we set ourselves, and we'd rather miss the date than hit it with thin numbers.

Why this page exists if there's nothing on it yet
Two reasons. One: so you know what's coming and can subscribe if any of the reports below are useful to you. Two: so we're publicly committed to the dates — and if we slip, you'll see it on /changelog with the reason why.
Where we are

The data flywheel — and where we are on it.

Useful outbound research needs three things: real customer workspaces, enough volume to anonymize cleanly, and enough time to see what reply rates actually look like across signal types. Here's the path.

Step 1 · Done
Build the signal detection layer
47 signal types live. Tech detection, hiring, funding, exec moves, voice mining all firing in production.
Step 2 · Now
Onboard 20 launch partners
12 of 20 spots filled. Each partner gets lifetime grandfathered pricing in exchange for letting us learn from their workspace.
Step 3 · Jun–Jul
Collect 90 days of campaign data
Enough volume to anonymize benchmarks cleanly and enough time-span to measure actual reply windows by signal type.
Step 4 · Aug
First report ships
"The 14-day post-funding window" — the report we know we can write from the data we'll have by then.
In the queue

Reports we're planning, in the order we'll publish them.

Each one anchors on a question the consultancy clients used to ask us, and we used to answer with our gut. Now we'll have data.

First · August 2026

The 14-day post-funding window: what actually moves reply rates?

We'll measure reply rates on signal-anchored emails sent on day 1, day 3, day 7, day 10, day 14, day 21, day 30 after a funding round announcement. Hypothesis: day 7–10 outperforms day 1–3, contrary to "be first" conventional wisdom. We'll publish the numbers either way.

Open-rate decay by signal type, across 9 signal categories

Funding signals fade fastest. Tech-stack-change signals stay loud longest. We'll plot the decay curve for each signal category against open rate and reply rate, so teams can stop guessing at "how stale is too stale".

Exec-move outreach: the 30-day window broken down by role

New VP RevOps vs new CRO vs new Head of Sales — does the outreach window differ? We expect yes (CRO transitions take longer to settle than IC-VP appointments), and we'll publish the numbers per role.

Signal depth vs signal strength: which one books more meetings?

If you have to pick: one loud signal (e.g. Series B) or three quieter ones (hiring + exec + stack change) firing on the same account — which converts better, and by how much? We'll report the answer, with the regression behind it.

The signal-to-noise ratio of public buying-intent data

A category-level look at how often each signal type is a true positive vs a false alarm. Useful for teams deciding which signal types to actually pull into their workflow vs ignore as noise.

The State of Signal-Driven Outbound — annual report

The big one. Benchmarks across reply rate, booked-meeting rate, signal-mix effectiveness, and channel performance — the kind of report we wish existed when we were running campaigns ourselves.

Why not just publish "industry benchmarks" now?

Because there's already too much of that, and most of it isn't grounded in real data. "Benchmark reports" from outbound vendors usually come from a customer survey of 50 people, or worse, from scraping public data and treating averages as predictions.

We'd rather wait until we can publish numbers from real campaigns running in our product, with the methodology in the appendix, and let the report stand on its own.

If that costs us the SEO win of being first, fine.

Our research bar

Real customer data — never scraped, never inferred from third-party sources.
50+ workspaces minimum before any number gets published as a benchmark.
90-day minimum window for any time-series claim about decay or reply rates.
Methodology appendix on every report — sample size, signal definitions, exclusion criteria.
Raw CSV when possible so readers can run their own cuts of the data.
