Composite signals combine several individual signals into a single high-confidence event. Where one signal might be noise, three firing together within a window is a pattern, so composites are the most reliable signals in the catalog and the ones worth alerting on directly. There are 12 composite signals, including two continuous scores recomputed nightly.

​
Events and scores

Event composites

Patterns like IPO, acquisition, merger, pivot, rebrand, expansion, decline, and restructuring that fire when their component signals align inside a time window.

Rolling scores

momentum_score and risk_score roll all positive or all negative signals into one decaying number, recomputed nightly, so you can rank an entire territory by trajectory.

Composites are your highest-signal alerts. Because each one already requires multiple corroborating events, you can act on them with far less filtering than single snapshot signals.
