The short answer
A tech-adoption trigger fires when a technology is newly detected on a company’s website. MarketPrior fingerprints the homepage and DNS records for known tech-stack patterns; when a tool appears that was not there before, it records a tech-adoption event. It works for companies in any country and also feeds the web and tech signals in diligence reports.

How do teams use tech-adoption triggers?
- Sell complements: a company that just adopted a platform often needs integrations, services or add-ons for it.
- Displace competitors: a newly detected rival tool marks a buying cycle that has just happened — and the next one.
- Qualify accounts: the stack tells you whether your product fits before you reach out.
How is technology detected?
MarketPrior fetches a company’s homepage and resolves its DNS over HTTPS, then matches known patterns — scripts, headers, DNS records — to technologies. Each website fetch goes through one guarded client that only connects to public addresses, re-checks every redirect and caps response size and time.
Detection sees what a site exposes publicly. Tools used only internally, or loaded behind a login, will not be detected.
How is tech adoption used in diligence?
In a diligence report, the detected stack sits with other web and developer signals — Tranco rank, web-archive history, GitHub activity, Hacker News mentions and App Store listings — in the traction section. A changing stack is one more dated sign of what the company is building and how fast it moves.
