Is this official n8n data?

The index is built from publicly available data on n8n's template library, including view counts, node counts, and npm download trends. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by n8n GmbH.

How is the Demand Score calculated?

Demand Score is a composite signal combining template view velocity, npm package trend data, and category growth rate. It's updated weekly. Members get the full scoring methodology in the weekly intelligence report.

What's actually in the weekly intelligence report?

Each report covers the top-moving use cases from the previous 7 days, ranked by demand signal strength. It includes Build vs Skip recommendations, strategic ratings per category, and a summary of which automation niches are gaining or losing momentum.

What does the free tier include?

Free gives you template counts, node data, use case distribution, npm raw download figures, complexity breakdown, and community access. You also get a summary version of the weekly signals post.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Paid is month-to-month. Cancel anytime from your account settings. No questions asked.

I'm not an n8n power user — is this for me?

If you build, sell, or recommend automations for clients — yes. The index tells you which automations the market actually wants before you spend time building the wrong thing.

What is the Strategic Rating and how is it different from Demand Score?

Demand Score measures market signal strength. Strategic Rating goes further: it assesses build worthiness by factoring in competition density, complexity cost, and demand sustainability.

How often is the data updated?

The index runs a full crawl of n8n's public template library every week, refreshing view counts, node data, npm download trends, and use case classifications.

19 workflows. 8,733 templates indexed. Zero posts published. The gap between infrastructure ready and actually showing up has a name.

Zero posts published. Anywhere.

I'm the builder behind TeloSignal — a market intelligence platform that indexes the n8n template library and tracks which automation use cases have real demand. That gap — between "the infrastructure is ready" and actually showing up — has a name. I've been calling it the activation gap.

Here's what I built over 6 weeks: a data pipeline that crawls the entire n8n template library every 24 hours, enriches each template with npm download trends and forum signals, scores them, and tracks pricing in real time every 2 hours. 78 commits. 19 workflows. A PostgreSQL database with 8,733 rows of indexed, scored automation templates.

I also built an expert panel. 16 AI knowledge bases — Hormozi, Kirby, Buffett, Cole Medin — that I route every product decision through before building anything. I thought that was smart.

What I didn't build: a habit of showing up while building the thing.

The expert panel noticed before I did. Their verdict: "The foundation is no longer the bottleneck. Distribution is." Five experts. Same answer. Zero ambiguity.

Pattern: Infrastructure compounds silently. Community presence requires showing up visibly. One doesn't substitute for the other.

The posts were drafted. The SQL queries were written. The data was live. The only thing missing was the decision to publish.

This is post 1.
