One workflow, whether you’re scanning a horizon, tracking a regulator, or watching a competitor set. Signals runs the models, checks the sources, and keeps the record open after the first scan finishes. Brief A guided chat captures scope, audience, and constraints. The run starts from a real research question, not a prompt. The Briefing becomes the working frame for the Session, so every model answers the same question under the same constraints.

We check each one and label it supports, contradicts, unrelated, or unreachable. Each Signal keeps its grounding state visible, so teams can separate useful weak signals from claims that did not survive source review.

The same data also reads as a table, a card grid, or one detailed view. Switch views when the question changes: scan patterns on the radar, compare records in a table, then open the Signal behind any point. ## Run Signals yourself, or work with us Start in Signals.
