About Derived Signals
Derived signals emerge from analysis synthesis when company-specific patterns warrant additional categorization beyond the core 11 signals. They capture nuances that the standard framework surfaces through rigorous multi-model debate.

MINIMALBest outcome

HIGHConcerning outcome
