Signal

Definition

In AI Panic, a Signal is a product feature, not a generic AI term: a rule-based market observation derived from stored data — for example an unusual price move or a stock appearing in high-attention news. Every signal lists its evidence and its category, and it is an observation with explicit limits, never a prediction or advice.

Why it matters

Signals show what stands out in the data right now — with the evidence attached, so you can judge it yourself. Knowing they are observations, not forecasts, keeps them in the right place in your thinking.

Practical example

A signal might read: “NVDA: +4.2% daily move while appearing in three high-attention stories” — with the underlying numbers visible.
