NeedSignal — Decision-grade research, on the record.

NeedSignal produces standardized, evidence-graded decision reports for professionals who must justify a recommendation — to a client, a credit committee, an investment partner, or a board. One question in. One defensible verdict out. Every claim carries its own paper trail.

An instrument, not an opinion

Deterministic scoring: the same evidence produces the same score, on a fixed and versioned rubric, so every report in your file is comparable to every other. Adversarial: every conclusion is challenged before it ships — counter-evidence, ranked risks, and kill criteria on the record. Accountable: when the evidence cannot support a confident conclusion, the report says so.

The NeedSignal Standard

Every report must clear six published quality gates before it ships — minimum source count, Tier A/B evidence thresholds, claim coverage, a completed counter-evidence pass, a versioned scoring model, and a full provenance record. The gate results are printed on the report itself. Trust the checklist, not the signature.

NeedSignal Watch

NeedSignal Watch keeps monitoring the evidence behind a completed decision and tells the user when the answer materially changes. No news feed and no alert overload, only changes that could affect the Opportunity Score, Confidence Score, key risks, kill criteria, or final recommendation. Monitoring access is entitlement-based.
