PUBLICATION METHODFour labels prevent a trend from becoming a fictional buyer.
- Verified signal
A primary or authoritative source confirms the observed change.
- Strong signal
Several credible observations agree, but commercial intent is not explicit.
- Inferred signal
AMS connects observations into a testable commercial hypothesis.
- Watch signal
Interesting, weak or early evidence that should not drive outreach yet.
Current Phase 1 limitation: these records demonstrate the product workflow. Live travel, search, trade, procurement and event connectors are not yet attached, so no item is presented as a confirmed buyer request.
