Presaga Pulse · People are already talking
Know where a conversation is heading — and whether to step in.
A thread about your organization. Comments piling up under an announcement. A review other people started arguing about. Presaga Pulse reads the actual conversation, finds where else it lives, plays it forward, and tests stepping in against staying out — then keeps reading as it moves, and scores its own calls.
Reads the live page, time-stamped
Finds the venues you didn't name
Staying out is a real recommendation
In plain terms
You paste a link to the conversation. Pulse reads what's actually there, works out where it's going, and tells you whether saying something would calm it down or pour fuel on it — then checks its own answer as the conversation keeps going.
What makes Pulse different
Presaga Crisis and Presaga Campaign are moments. Pulse is time.
You can see what people said. You can't see where it's going — whether the thread burns out on its own or turns into the thing you spend next week explaining. Pulse builds a population from the people actually in the conversation, plays it forward, and tells you which arguments are gaining ground, who is carrying them, and what happens next.
Then it does the thing no monitoring tool can: it tests your options. A Pulse briefing runs stay out and step in as two separate arms on the same conversation, and tells you what each one costs. Silence is a real recommendation here, and every report says what silence costs as well as what speaking costs.
What goes in, what comes out
A link and one sentence in. A reading out.
An illustrative Pulse briefing — the input a town's communications lead would give, and the shape of the call that comes back.
What goes in
A town's parking bylaw, and the thread under it
A link to the local paper's story on the new downtown parking bylaw — 140 comments in two days, three residents doing most of the talking, a councillor named twice, and no reply from the town yet. “Do we respond, and does responding make it worse?”
What comes out
A Pulse Decision Report — and the re-reads that follow
The Call · illustrative
Stay out for now. The thread is plateauing on its own: three of the four arguments gaining ground are about the bylaw's timing, not its substance, and the two voices carrying it have drawn no new participants in a day and a half. A reply from the town re-opens it. If the named councillor is drawn in, step in within the day with a facts-only correction — a reply we tested separately, against staying out.

Illustrative example — the report structure is real
What the report delivers
A Pulse Decision Report, section by section.
Written for the person deciding whether to reply — the call first, then everything it rests on, then what changed since last time.
- The CallStep in now, step in later, or stay out — with the timing that drives it.
- What We're ReadingThe thread as Pulse actually read it, how current it is, and what it does not have — so a reading never quietly rests on a conversation that has already turned.
- Where This Conversation LivesThe venues carrying it, including ones you didn't name, and the ones Pulse found but could not read.
- Where It's HeadingThe trajectory if nobody intervenes: escalating, plateauing, or burning out — and how activity moved.
- What's Gaining Ground, and Who's Carrying ItThe winning arguments and the voices with actual reach, as distinct from the loudest.
- If You Step InWhat a reply changes, tested in its own arm against staying out — with your draft reply, or one Pulse writes from only what's on the page.
- What Changed Since the Last ReadingRe-read any time. Every reading is compared against the one before, and each reading's dated projections are scored by the next.
- Evidence & ConfidenceCitations to the words that were really there, the reviewers' disagreements, and a confidence reading that can only be lowered.
- Your Original InputThe link or the pasted thread, reproduced exactly as supplied, with when it was read.
The room that argues over it
Pulse's reviewers read for direction, not just sentiment — and one seat's whole job is to make the case for staying out.

The Watch
A conversation doesn't end when the report does. Neither does Pulse.
Pulse keeps a running model of the conversation — the narratives present and their share, which are growing or fading, the claims circulating and where each was first seen, the actors, the venues, where disagreement concentrates, and which groups are absent. Every field is counted, cited, and dated.
Read it
Point Pulse at the link. It reads the public page the way any visitor would — never posting, never logging in, never going behind a login or a paywall — stamps when it read it, and records what was there so your report can cite the words that were publicly visible at the time.
Find the rest of it
Pulse sweeps for the other places the same conversation is happening — the subreddit, the local news comments, the forum you didn't know about — and maps them, including the venues it found but could not read.
Play it forward, both ways
Staying out and stepping in run as two arms on the same conversation. The report says what each one changes and what each one costs.
Re-read as it moves
On the cadence you choose, Pulse re-reads the conversation. What changed since the last reading is the first thing the new report says — and last reading's dated projections are marked right or wrong.
The usual way vs. Presaga Pulse
What listening usually gets you.
The usual way
Monitoring, then a guess.
A social listening tool counts and classifies the posts that already exist. An agency sends a morning digest. Then someone in the room guesses whether replying helps — and finds out by replying.
With Presaga Pulse
Direction, drivers, and a tested answer.
Pulse reads the conversation, plays it forward, and tests your reply — and your silence — against the specific people in it. Then it keeps reading, and keeps score.
