WHAT SIG-R IS
400 to 550 words.
Operator register, not analyst.
Published weekdays. Same day as its paired SIG-A.
Structure: header · signal briefly · what this changes operationally · founder actions ordered by urgency · what not to do · sign-off.
Named decisions. Named tools. Ordered.

Positioning
Where SIG-R Fits
SIG-R
SIG-R is the operator layer of the daily Signal. It reads what to do about the news, not what the news is.
SIG-A
SIG-A — Daily Signal Part 1 — precedes SIG-R in the morning. If you haven’t read it yet, start there.
Together SIG-A and SIG-R form the daily analytical layer of the Vogue Boost catalogue.
