When this fires
Award-type competitor signals capture recognition, rankings, or accolades associated with tracked firms.
Why it matters in AEC
Owners and selection committees cite ENR rankings and sector awards in interviews. Principals need factual battlecard updates before healthcare or civic shortlists—not reactive scrambling after the client mentions a rival’s trophy.
