Your competitors have uk-based data scientists in their X follower lists. These are people interested in your space - they followed a competing account because the topic matters to them. That is a signal you can act on, if you know who they are. But X gives you no way to see another account's followers intelligently - just a long list of profile photos and short bios with no filtering.
Data scientists sit at the intersection of engineering, statistics, and business. They evaluate tools for their teams, influence purchasing decisions, and often have direct budget authority for analytics and ML infrastructure. Identifying which data scientists are following a given account is valuable for selling data tools, recruiting for data teams, and building practitioner communities.
Catch The Good Ones lets you track any public X account - including your competitors. We classify every new follower using customisable AI-powered filters you define in plain English. When uk-based data scientists follow your competitor, they appear on your dashboard - classified and ready to act on. You see who is interested in your space and can get in front of them. This is not surveillance - every follow is public data. We just make sure you do not miss the ones that matter.
The UK is a global hub for this space, and some of the most connected people in it are on X.

How does Catch The Good Ones identify data scientists?
We classify every new follower using AI that analyses their bio, recent posts, and profile data against your customisable filter dimensions. Data scientists are identified by signals like technical roles, skills in Python/R/SQL, ML frameworks, and analytics experience - but you define exactly what matters to you.
Can I filter for data scientists with specific skills?
Yes. Describe what you need in plain English - for example, "data scientists who work with computer vision" or "analytics engineers experienced in dbt". Our AI maps your description to filter dimensions and surfaces the matches.
What is the difference between finding data scientists and ML engineers?
You define the distinction using your filter descriptions. The customisable filters let you target "data scientists" specifically, "ML engineers" specifically, or both. You control the scope.
Can I track any competitor's X account?
Yes. Catch The Good Ones works with any public X account. You do not need to own or have access to the account - just add the handle and we start classifying their followers against your custom filters.
Will my competitor know I am tracking their followers?
No. We only access publicly available data. There is no notification sent to the account you are tracking. It is the same information anyone could see by scrolling through their follower list - we just classify and surface the data scientists automatically.
How do you identify UK-based profiles?
Our AI analyses bio text and posting patterns. Profiles mentioning UK cities, British organisations, or other geographic signals are classified accordingly.
