What is a signal?

A signal is information that should affect a choice. Noise may still be interesting, urgent, or emotionally vivid, but it does not materially change the decision.

Connect signals to assumptions

A metric becomes useful when it tests something the decision depends on. Without that connection, teams can collect large amounts of data without gaining clarity.

Define the change condition
