REA for Growth

REA for Growth is a free, open-source skill from treg that gets your AI agent to reverse-engineer how a company grows. You name a company and a time period. The agent then pulls traffic estimates, search rankings, ChatGPT answers, ads, social posts, backlinks and job openings through treg’s pay-per-call data catalogue, and returns a playbook of ten plays you can copy, each with the evidence behind it, a label saying whether it was seen in the data or inferred, and a ready-to-use prompt.

Key features

• One line in: name a company and a time period; full mode runs 13 steps and saves playbook.md, playbook.html and CSV files, while content mode focuses on what the company publishes on each channel.
• Growth signals in one run: site map and page reads; tech stack, partners, news and funding (PredictLeads); monthly organic and paid traffic estimates (DataForSEO, US by default); 1,000 ranked keywords; three buyer questions asked in ChatGPT.
• Ads and social: ads on Meta, Google, LinkedIn and TikTok; what others say on X, YouTube and Reddit; the company’s own posts on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, LinkedIn and Reddit.
• Links and hiring: backlinks and anchor text (which can show product loops such as “Made with” badges) and job openings.
• SEEN or INFERRED: every finding is labelled as seen in a call result or inferred from what was seen; anything not found is reported as “not seen” rather than guessed. Python does the maths and every count is dated.
• Moves against growth: lines up launches, ads and posts against the traffic curve; it only calculates a correlation with at least 12 months and 5 moves on a channel, and marks cause and effect as inferred.
• A playbook you can act on: ten plays, each with effort, time to a first result, the metric to watch and a paste-ready prompt, plus a 14-day plan per channel and method notes.
• Spending guardrails: a $3 default budget cap; the agent quotes each endpoint’s price before its first call and checks it fits the cap.
• Public evidence only: the skill tells the agent to create no accounts, fill no forms and contact no one.

Pricing

treg’s support page says there is a default ceiling of $5 per team per day, so a runaway agent cannot spend without limit. When the balance runs out, metered calls stop with a clear error until you top up. Some data needs your own key: traffic by channel uses Akta, which was not billed in the sample run because it needs the team’s own Akta key.

Good to know

• You need an AI agent set up (a coding agent or an MCP-capable assistant) and a treg account; it is not a point-and-click dashboard
• Traffic and keyword figures are third-party estimates, US by default; traffic by channel needs your own Akta key
• Links between moves and growth are correlation, not proof; REA marks them as inferred
• treg is in early access, with no uptime or support commitment, and reported a security incident on 23 Oct 2026
• Some social data comes through third-party providers, so check the platforms’ terms and your own data-protection rules
• REA launched on 29 Oct 2026, and there are no independent reviews of REA itself yet

Frequently asked questions

What is REA for Growth?

REA for Growth is a free, open-source skill from treg. You give your AI agent a company name and a time period, and it pulls traffic, search, AI-answer, ads, social, backlink and hiring data through treg, then returns a playbook of ten plays with a prompt for each.

How much does REA for Growth cost?

The skill is free. The data calls are paid from a prepaid treg balance at each provider’s own rate, which treg says carries no markup. treg’s sample run on lovable.dev cost $0.58, new teams get $1.00 of free credit, and the skill’s default budget cap is $3.

What data does REA for Growth use?

Public data through treg’s catalogue: PredictLeads for tech stack, news, funding and jobs; DataForSEO for traffic estimates, keywords and backlinks; ChatGPT answers; ad libraries for Meta, Google, LinkedIn and TikTok; and posts on X, YouTube, Reddit, TikTok, Instagram and LinkedIn.

How accurate are the numbers?

Traffic and keyword figures are third-party estimates and default to the US. Each finding is labelled SEEN or INFERRED and dated, and REA only calculates a correlation when it has at least 12 months and 5 moves on a channel. Treat cause and effect as a lead to test, not proof.

Do I need to know how to code?

You do not write code, but you need an AI agent such as Claude Code, Cursor or Codex, or an assistant that supports treg’s MCP connector. The agent installs and signs in to treg, then follows the skill.

Is REA for Growth safe to use?

REA reads public data only, but it runs on treg, which reported a security incident on 23 Oct 2026 and is in early access with no uptime or support commitment. treg says teams that never added their own keys only needed to sign in again. If you add keys, set spending limits with each provider.
