Use cases

One Demand Graph.
Seven motions that win on it.

The Demand Graph isn't an outbound playbook for B2B SaaS — it's a runtime that adapts to whoever your buyer is and wherever they're publicly asking. Below: how Wavly plays out across the ICPs and motions we see most — including Product Behavior Intelligence.

Land & expand (Free / Indie)

Land on Free or Indie — graduate to Pro on the same revenue OS.

Who this is
Solo or two-person teams who need pipeline proof without a GTM stack, contact database, or ad budget — same runtime RevOps teams run at scale.
Surfaces we scan
  • · Open-web evaluation threads in your category
  • · Community and forum posts asking for tool recommendations
  • · Public switching and pricing-pain conversations
Typical demand → reply
"Is there a tool for X that doesn't require a full outbound stack?" → contextual reply + Signal-to-Page that mirrors the asker's language.
Outcome
First attributed click typically within 72 hours — no list purchase, no warm-up period, no separate toy product.
Product Behavior Intelligence

See what each customer company is doing — then act.

Who this is
Product-led SaaS, sales-assisted PLG, and customer success teams who need per-company usage truth and governed save / expansion plays — not another dashboard.
Surfaces we scan
  • · First-party product events (SDK, Segment, PostHog)
  • · Workspace and team adoption inside the product
  • · Revenue and expansion signals tied to usage thresholds
Typical demand → reply
Usage drops 40% at Acme Corp → churn-risk play queued · Fortis adds two teams on a sticky feature → expansion play recommended.
Outcome
Behavior change triggers plays with approval and audit on the same Demand Graph — retention and expansion before the renewal call surprises you.
B2B SaaS founders

Tired of paying Apollo's per-seat tax for sub-1% conversion.

Who this is
Founder-led B2B SaaS teams (5–25 people) replacing or augmenting an outbound stack with intent-based capture.
Surfaces we scan
  • · r/SaaS · r/Entrepreneur · r/sales
  • · Hacker News "alternatives to X" threads
  • · Stack Exchange product-comparison questions
Typical demand → reply
"Any alternative to [incumbent] that doesn't cost a kidney?" → contextual reply + landing page positioned against the exact incumbent named.
Outcome
Replace the cold-list outbound spend with intent capture. CAC drops because every prospect already raised their hand.
Dev-tool & API companies

Your buyers live in code, not inboxes. Be the helpful answer in their thread.

Who this is
Dev-tool, API, and infra companies whose ICP is engineers — Stack Exchange-shaped, GitHub-shaped, HN-shaped.
Surfaces we scan
  • · Hacker News · Lobsters · Dev.to · Stack Exchange
  • · GitHub issues asking for libraries in your category
  • · r/programming · r/webdev · r/devops
Typical demand → reply
"What's the best [thing your product does] for [their stack]?" → technical reply (Scout writes in HN-tone) + landing page tuned to their exact stack.
Outcome
Trust earned in the channel where engineers evaluate. Sign-ups arrive with intent context already attached.
AI-app builders

The category is moving fast. People are asking which app does X, today.

Who this is
AI-app teams shipping on top of OpenAI/Anthropic/etc. who need to win the "which AI tool for Y" search at the moment of intent.
Surfaces we scan
  • · r/ChatGPT · r/OpenAI · r/LocalLLaMA · r/aiagents
  • · Product Hunt launch comments comparing AI apps
  • · X / Twitter "any AI for [task]?" threads
Typical demand → reply
"Is there an AI app that does [task]?" → real answer (yours), per-demand landing page that mirrors their use-case description verbatim.
Outcome
You stop watching competitors get tagged in the threads you should be in. The Demand Graph routes you there in real time.
OSS maintainers monetizing

Free users are everywhere. Paying users are the ones with a deadline. Find them.

Who this is
OSS maintainers turning a popular library into a hosted/paid product — looking for the subset of users with budget and urgency.
Surfaces we scan
  • · GitHub issues with "willing to pay" / "need this for production" language
  • · r/selfhosted · r/devops · r/sysadmin
  • · Hacker News "how do you handle X at scale" threads
Typical demand → reply
Issue / thread mentions production scale, deadline, or commercial use → reply with a clear path from OSS → hosted plan + page tuned to their stack.
Outcome
OSS stays free; paid conversions come from intent-qualified threads, not generic newsletter blasts.
Agencies & freelancers

Be the studio that shows up, in context, before the shortlist.

Who this is
Boutique agencies and senior freelancers winning work where the prospect is currently asking publicly for a recommendation.
Surfaces we scan
  • · r/forhire · r/SaaS · r/startups
  • · Indie Hackers "need help with X" threads
  • · Twitter threads of founders asking for vendors
Typical demand → reply
"Looking for a [your-craft] studio for [project]" → expert reply + page that positions your work for that exact project shape.
Outcome
Shorter sales cycle: you arrive when they're actively shopping, not three weeks later in a cold inbox.
