# GTM teams are winning with a THIRTY-year-old technology. New AI tools can be great, but
## Claim
GTM teams are winning with a THIRTY-year-old technology. New AI tools can be great, but this is tried and true (and free). RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds have been around since the 90's and are criminally undervalued and underutilized in GTM. They give your GTM team free competitor intelligence, relevant signals, and timely updates.

## Mechanism
RSS feeds allow you to, essentially, 'subscribe' to websites so every time that website changes or gets updated, you get notified with the new content.

## Conditions
Holds when: the operating context matches the post's stated frame (team shape, stage, tooling, buyer type).
Fails when: the practice is lifted into a different stage or buyer context without reworking the underlying mechanism.

## Evidence
> "GTM teams are winning with a THIRTY-year-old technology. New AI tools can be great, but this is tried and true (and free)."
