Something's off. Can you see
the signals?
A signal is any small indicator that something might be off: a device that changes mid-application, a location that doesn't match the job, a document that's almost right, or a burst of sign-ups in a single afternoon. One signal rarely proves anything on its own. The value is in seeing them early and seeing them together.
