Escalate a Filing Surge by a Competitor in a Watched Area
Daily, measures each competitor's patent-filing rate against its baseline and triggers a PagerDuty escalation plus a tracking issue when a statistically notable surge is detected.

What it does
Watches the velocity of competitor patent filings in your tech area and treats an abnormal spike as an incident: when a competitor's recent filing rate jumps well above its trailing baseline, it pages the CI on-call and opens a tracking issue.
When to use it
When a sudden burst of filings signals a competitor is racing toward a launch or staking out a moat, and you want it handled with incident-grade urgency rather than buried in a digest.
How it works
- 1A daily schedule runs the check.
- 2Exa pulls each watched competitor's filings in the tech area for the recent window.
- 3A logic step computes each competitor's filing rate against its trailing baseline and flags statistically notable surges.
- 4For a flagged surge, OpenAI drafts a short situational summary of what the new filings suggest.
- 5A PagerDuty escalation is triggered for the competitive-intel on-call.
- 6A tracking issue with the summary is opened in Linear for follow-up.
