## Investor Insight

At growth stage, engineering signals indicate strategic direction — a major deploy-frequency spike often maps to a product launch; an infrastructure buildout often signals a new business line. Useful for secondary investors, growth funds, and corporate development teams benchmarking targets. If you are seeing a hiring burst signal, you may be too late for the current round but well-positioned for the next one. The team expansion suggests the company has capital to deploy and is building toward a product milestone.
