Signals to watch
Look for specific personal finance problems, requests for tools or services, comparisons between current options, and workflows people say are too slow or expensive. A relevant keyword without a real decision or problem is not automatically a lead.
Participate like a useful member
- Answer the question before discussing a product.
- Disclose your connection when your own product is relevant.
- Do not move a public conversation into a DM unless the person invites it or the context clearly supports it.
- Re-check the live rules; a rule summary can become stale without notice.
