Every trading day produces more news, filings, and price moves than any person can read. Most of it does not matter to you. The job is to find the few items that do, quickly. That gap, between a raw headline and something you can act on, is where a signal gets made.
Step one: read everything
It starts with ingestion. News entries, SEC filings, price and volume data, prediction-market odds. All of it arrives as raw records, in no particular order of importance.
Step two: tag and enrich
Each item gets context. A news entry is tagged with the assets and entities it mentions, its sentiment, its language, and the publisher behind it. A filing is parsed into its parts, so an 8-K becomes specific items rather than a blob of text.
Step three: score and link
This is where a record becomes a signal. The event gets a type (an insider trade, a material 8-K item, an options sweep, a sentiment shift), a direction from very bullish to very bearish, and a strength from 0 to 100 based on how large or unusual it is. The source stays attached, so the signal always points back to the filing or article it came from.
Step four: surface what is yours
A signal only helps if it reaches the right person. Watchlists decide that. You tell the system which tickers, issuers, publishers, and signal types you follow, and the matching rows rise to the top. Everything else stays out of the way until you ask for it.
Why the scoring matters
A headline tells you something happened. A signal tells you what kind of event it is, which way it leans, how strong it is, and where to verify it. That is the difference between reading and scanning: you glance at a scored, sorted list and decide what deserves a closer look, instead of reading every story to find out.
None of this is a recommendation to buy or sell. A signal is a structured fact with a source. What you do with it is your call.
