In detail

How it works in practice

Tracking of the public activity of a list of competitor accounts that you choose: posting frequency, follower growth, signs of acceleration or slowdown over time.

The data it surfaces helps you adjust your own targeting (through multi-source automatic targeting) and your whitelist/blacklist, not copy a competitor's content or audience as is.

It works by observing public accounts, in the same spirit as the rest of the platform (real devices, no bot, no third-party API), so there is no private data, no DMs, and no internal statistics from another account.

It works hand in hand with The Mirror: Le Périscope watches your competitors, The Mirror analyzes your own accounts (hourly heatmap, top/flop content), two complementary views, one external and one internal.

It also works with The Extractor: once a relevant competitor is identified through Le Périscope, The Extractor can retrieve the publicly available professional contact details of its followers.

The list of tracked accounts is set up and adjusted with your dedicated support agent, who supervises your account continuously on top of the AI targeting.

No invented trend figure or threat score: the feature reports factual activity data, and strategic interpretation stays in your hands or those of the Propulse team.

Available with the Propulse plans (Visibility, Growth, Acquisition), with initial onboarding by call, and no self-service setup.
