Northspyre launched the Northspyre Development Index on October 12: a monthly score from anonymised activity on its own platform (42.4 in September; the West the only region above 50). It is exactly what the Market Intelligence Lead and Head of Brand were hired to build. But the index lives on theproforma.com, and northspyre.com, where developers book demos, does not mention it: not on the homepage, the menus or News & Press, whose newest item is from August. The best proof of Northspyre's data earns no traffic, links or demos for the product site.

Why it works
Publish northspyre.com/development-index with the latest score, a regional chart, the seven signals in plain words, a link to the full Pro Forma report and a monthly email signup. Add a homepage band ("This month's NDI: 42.4") and a press item, and close the page with "See the same signals on your own projects - book a demo". Update it every second Friday.
A recurring, quotable number brings journalists, links and returning visitors every month, and it shows prospects that the platform holds data no spreadsheet can.

A falling index reads as bad news
Frame each release around what developers can do now.
