Yes! Defining a design signal moves the work beyond pure data and into the space where a designer’s judgment actually adds value (instead of a confusing mess).
It gives people a simple way to follow how you interpret what you saw. It turns your synthesis into something others can understand and use from a design perspective
It’s something you can repeat, but it’s not rigid. (Many designers struggle with creating repeatable pieces that add value in business communication).
@Helge shared a nice viewpoint on a design signal.
