A signal is one fact Beacon read in your tools about one customer — an invoice still unpaid, a cancellation scheduled, revenue that went up or down — recorded with the date it happened. The Signals page shows which signals Beacon has noticed, and which rules it watches for. Find it under The Brain → Signals. Beacon does not turn signals into a score here, and nothing on this page changes what a signal means.
Signals start once billing is connected and you have confirmed where your revenue is recorded. Until then the page shows none rather than old ones. On a quiet book it is normal for Latest signals to be empty for a while.

The tiles at the top

A status line appears above the tiles only when something is wrong — for example, if Beacon has stopped reading one of your tools.

Latest signals

Each row is one signal on one customer, newest first. Search by customer or signal name. The list shows 25 a page. About “Counts for”. Every signal keeps counting for a fixed time after it happens and then fades. Beacon shows that time from the signal’s date. It does not yet work out whether an older signal still counts today, so the Noticed tile counts every signal Beacon has recorded, not only the ones still counting.

Signal rules

The thirteen signals Beacon watches for, grouped by the tool that switches them on. These are fixed definitions, not settings. The Noticed on column says, for each signal, how many customers Beacon has noticed it on. Select the count to see who — it opens Latest signals, searched to that signal. None yet means Beacon is watching and has not seen it. Off says what switches it on.

From your billing

On once billing is connected and your revenue record is confirmed.

From your CRM

On once Beacon is reading your CRM.

From your accounting tool

On once Beacon is reading your accounting tool.

Switched off for now

No tool you can connect during the pilot switches these on. Beacon does not guess a switched-off signal from your other tools.

Not on this page yet

An overall risk rating for each customer comes later. For now Beacon shows the signals themselves, so you can see exactly what it noticed and when.

Every customer once, and how Beacon put them together.
