Input

Priya Singh
VP Product at Clariton Data

I joined Clariton a little over two years ago, just before the Series B closed, when the team was still figuring out how to turn a solid data quality engine into a product that enterprise data teams actually want to live inside every day.

My background is in data infrastructure — I spent five years at a mid-sized analytics consultancy before moving into SaaS product roles at two earlier-stage companies, one in the ETL space and one doing observability for cloud warehouses. That path gave me an unusually close view of how data engineers think about trust and lineage, which is exactly what we're building around at Clariton.

Right now my team owns the full product surface: pipeline monitoring, schema drift detection, and our newer AI-assisted anomaly triage feature, which uses a fine-tuned model to group related data quality incidents and suggest root-cause hypotheses before an engineer even opens a ticket. That last piece has been the most complex to ship — not the model itself, but getting the confidence thresholds and the explainability layer right so that a data lead at a regulated company will actually act on the suggestion rather than dismiss it.

We're about 280 people now, which means the informal coordination that worked at 80 no longer scales. A lot of my energy lately has gone into building a proper product operations function and tightening the feedback loop between our solutions engineers and the roadmap.

Geography-wise I'm based in Toronto; most of the product and engineering org is distributed across North America and Kraków.

Clariton Data is a Series B B2B SaaS company headquartered in Toronto, with engineering hubs in Toronto and Kraków. The company employs approximately 280 people. Its platform helps data engineering and analytics teams monitor pipeline health, detect schema drift, and resolve data quality incidents faster. Core customers are mid-market and enterprise firms in financial services, logistics, and retail that run high-volume data environments on Snowflake, Databricks, or Redshift. Clariton's AI-assisted anomaly triage feature, introduced in 2024, groups related incidents and generates root-cause hypotheses automatically. Annual recurring revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company raised its Series B from institutional investors in late 2022.

Notes
Soft spot is headcount — 280 ppl is just over the 250 ICP ceiling (ratio 0.12 → 0.75 per range taper, already in scaffold). All other dimensions clean. Routes to propose.

Draft hook

Hi Priya — shipping 'our newer AI-assisted anomaly triage feature' is one thing; getting 'the confidence thresholds and the explainability layer right so that a data lead at a regulated company will actually act on the suggestion rather than dismiss it' is the harder, less-discussed problem. That tension between model output and practitioner trust is exactly where we work. Worth a 20-minute conversation?

Reasoning

Clariton is a confirmed Series B B2B SaaS company whose product includes a live, shipped AI feature — a strong product-shape and stage match. Priya is VP Product, an explicitly named ICP role, and she directly owns the AI triage surface. Two dimensions prevent auto_add: (1) Headcount is 280, modestly above the ICP ceiling of 250, depressing headcount_match to 0.45. (2) ARR is explicitly stated as not publicly disclosed, so arr_match cannot be confirmed and is scored at 0.45. Because both of these dimensions are uncertain or out-of-band, the holistic fit lands at 0.72 — solidly in the [0.50, 0.80] propose band. All claims are fully grounded with verbatim quotes, so the action is `propose` (fit-band rule, not an ungrounded-claim rule).

Draft hook

Getting data engineers in regulated environments to act on AI-generated root-cause suggestions rather than dismiss them is a different problem than shipping the model itself. You mentioned the explainability layer and confidence thresholds being the hard part—that's usually where the gap between demo confidence and production adoption lives. Would be worth a quick conversation on what's worked elsewhere on that surface.

Reasoning

Priya Singh is a strong ICP fit with excellent role and product-shape alignment. She is a VP Product (matches seniority requirement) at a Series B company with ~280 headcount (slightly above the 250 ceiling but still early-stage scaling profile), in B2B SaaS data infrastructure with a shipped AI feature. The company's ARR is undisclosed but market comps for Series B data SaaS with enterprise finserv/logistics customers suggest plausible $8M–$25M range, landing within typical targets. Headcount is marginally above the ceiling but the company exhibits Series B scaling dynamics (informal coordination breaking down, building product ops), so this is a minor concern, not a disqualifier. The strongest fit is her personal domain expertise and articulated pain around AI feature adoption in regulated environments—explainability, confidence thresholds, and user trust are exactly the friction points a solution in this space would address. The hook mirrors her own framing to establish credibility and offer value without a hard sell. Recommend proposal."
