Score the edge.
Rank the conviction.
The Signal agent is Harbor’s live admission engine. It turns technical structure, confirmation, and relative strength into governed candidates the rest of the chain can challenge. Its importance to the universe is simple: if Signal admits the wrong names, everything downstream starts from bad evidence.
Four verdicts. One frontier.
Signal scans the full universe, resolves every name into a verdict, then only lets the strongest setups advance. This is the live frontier where technical opportunity becomes governed candidate flow.
High confluence. Harbor can move it into downstream challenge and governance with full conviction weight.
Qualified long idea. Strong enough to advance, but not a top-tier leader yet.
Interesting but incomplete. Logged for monitoring, not admitted into the governed chain yet.
Signal sees structure, but admission logic or constraints prevent promotion into the chain.
Signal sits between context and challenge. Macro and Sentiment shape the field; Signal decides which setups are worthy of deeper valuation, risk, and routing.
What builds the score.
Signal blends four families into one composite read, then checks how cleanly the evidence aligns before publishing a candidate.
Evaluates structure, support, resistance, and multi-timeframe alignment so price action has to earn trust before Harbor promotes it.
Tracks acceleration, relative strength, and trend persistence to separate durable pressure from short-lived bursts.
Adjusts raw signal quality by volatility posture so the same setup is interpreted differently under cheap and expensive risk.
Adds a light sanity check so obviously deteriorating names do not look clean simply because the chart is temporarily cooperative.
Rewards agreement across daily, weekly, and broader structure because full alignment is one of Harbor’s strongest confluence signals.
Ranks sleeves by aggregate signal quality so Harbor can see where technical opportunity is broad versus isolated.
Signal first checks whether the move has durable structure instead of one-day noise. Clean posture is the base layer of conviction.
Momentum matters, but Harbor cares how it is built: accelerating cleanly, degrading, or already overextended.
Relative strength, weekly confirmation, and local feature quality must agree before Signal publishes a serious candidate.
Signal is not just scoring. It is deciding what earns a place in the governed chain and what gets left outside.
Signal is the layer that converts a broad universe into an actionable frontier. If this gate is weak, Harbor wastes downstream attention on noise. If it is strong, every later agent starts from cleaner evidence.
