About 6sense
6sense's tracked feed is a mid-2022 snapshot of Slintel filter and UX additions — newer cadence is unclear.
The visible changelog covers a tight window in mid-2022, when the Slintel side of 6sense was rolling out a steady drip of filter additions (Year Founded, Last Funding Stage, Company Type, expanded Location regions) plus UX touches like Quick View on the Intent and Smart List tabs. Heavier moves in the same window were a Salesforce integration overhaul and a company-data refresh that added 11M leads and improved phone fill-rate 2.5x. Nothing more recent is captured here.
