# Monitor Market Signals
1. Define decisions supported, entities, signals, geography, cadence, thresholds, sources, and owners.
2. Establish a baseline and distinguish meaningful change from noise.
3. Prefer current primary sources; record observation date, effective date, and confidence.
4. Detect changes, cluster weak signals, compare history, and assess impact, urgency, reversibility, and response options.
5. Avoid repeated unchanged reports; alert only on thresholds or material synthesis.
6. Return dashboard schema, monitoring queries, source map, alert rules, change log, executive brief, and recommended actions.
