01WHY IT EXISTS
Why does
SignalDesk exist?
Information is valuable only when it changes a decision. SignalDesk keeps product-relevant changes, explains why they matter, and always preserves the original source.
02 / PRODUCT SHAPE
The product shape we know so far
The direction can move, but these capabilities and principles have passed a first round of evidence.
Weekly briefs with source and context
Change detection instead of feed aggregation
Team notes linked to decisions
GUIDING PRINCIPLESTransparent sourcesTraceable summariesLow noiseConfigurable
03 / BUILD PATH
Not a countdown. A chain of evidence.
Every step should inform the next. When evidence is missing, pausing is a legitimate form of progress.
