Open Signals Open Signals · Call for signals # Propose a signal for The SI Observatory **Open Signals lets researchers propose new signals for The SI Observatory and publish them under their own name.** A good signal is one number built from public data with a method anyone can repeat and a clear refresh rate. The team reviews every proposal in private, builds each accepted signal itself, and credits its author on the signal and in the list of Observatory Fellows, a title with no pay or reward. **9** live signals today · License **CC BY 4.0** · Review **by the team** Propose a signal What makes a good signal Observatory Fellows The bar ## What makes a good signal Every live signal on the Observatory meets the same three tests. Proposals that meet them are the ones that go live. ### Public data The signal is computed from data anyone can read for free: an official register, a public API, a filing system, a chain. No paid feeds, no private data and nothing about private individuals. ### A clear method One number, with a method short enough to write in plain words and exact enough that two people get the same result. Say what is counted, what is left out and why. ### A refresh rate How often the number changes and how often it should be read: hourly, daily, weekly or monthly. A signal that cannot be refreshed is a study, not a signal. Not accepted: code to run, price predictions, anything that scores people, and data behind a paywall or a login. Examples ## Six of the live signals, as models Each live signal fits in three lines: what is counted, from which public source, and how often. A proposal can be just as short. Several times a day. ### The SI Era tracker share = documents saying Super Intelligence / (documents saying Super Intelligence + documents saying only the old name), over the recent window the tracker reads. Data: [Executive Order 14434, 91 FR 63129](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/10/02/2026-20321/inaugurating-the-era-of-super-intelligence), [Federal Register API](https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/documentation/api/v1) [The full method](https://tsio.si/signals/#era) Every few minutes, from 18 publisher feeds. ### The Mainstream Meter meter = rogue SI headlines / all SI headlines over the last 7 days, times 100. Data: [RSI Watch method](https://enterrsi.si/watch/) [The full method](https://tsio.si/signals/#mainstream) Reviewed weekly. ### The Rogue SI incident log A case is logged when at least one primary or reputable secondary source documents it. Severity follows the published scale; the highest level the evidence supports wins. Data: [Rogue SI incident log (JSON)](https://tsio.si/data/rogue-log.json), [METR documented agent incidents](https://metr.org/) [The full method](https://tsio.si/signals/#rogue) Reviewed weekly. ### SI laws and rules in force A measure counts as in force from its effective date. Voluntary codes and guidance are never counted as in force. Data: [SI control map (JSON)](https://tsio.si/data/control-map.json) [The full method](https://tsio.si/signals/#laws) Daily image checks; power figures as Epoch AI updates them. ### Compute Watch from orbit Sum of current power (MW) for every watched site, as listed in the Epoch AI data center dataset. Data: [Epoch AI data centers (CC BY)](https://epoch.ai/data/data-centers), [NASA GIBS, Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2](https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/data/projects/hls) [The full method](https://tsio.si/signals/#compute) Every 30 minutes through the sector API; the map falls back to the last snapshot. ### The SI sector market cap CoinGecko category market cap for "artificial-intelligence"; the token count is every coin listed in that category. Data: [CoinGecko Artificial Intelligence (AI) category](https://www.coingecko.com/en/categories/artificial-intelligence) [The full method](https://tsio.si/signals/#sector) Propose ## Send a signal Write the method in plain words and link the public data. The proposal is private: it is stored only for the review, and only the name you choose and the method text are ever published, after acceptance. 1. **You propose** Send the form below. Your contact stays private; only the review team reads it. 2. **The team reviews** The team checks the data sources, repeats the method by hand and may write to you with questions. 3. **The team builds it** An accepted signal is built from your method by the Codeflex team. Code from a submission is never run. 4. **It goes live with your name** The signal page credits you as written in the form, and you are listed as an Observatory Fellow. **Your data.** Only the review team reads a proposal. Your contact is never shown or shared, and nothing is published until the team accepts the signal. See [privacy](https://tsio.si/privacy/) . Accepted signals ## Signals from the community No proposal has been accepted yet. Accepted signals appear here with their authors, then join the live board. Observatory Fellows ## The Fellows No Observatory Fellows yet. An author becomes a Fellow when a proposed signal goes live. Fellow is a title only, with no pay, reward or rights. Questions ## Open Signals, answered ### Who can propose a signal? Anyone: researchers, students, journalists and builders. You publish under the name or handle you choose, with an optional affiliation. ### Is there pay or a reward? No. Accepted authors are credited on their signal and listed as Observatory Fellows. Fellow is a title only, with no pay, reward or rights. ### Can I send code? No. Describe the method in words. The Codeflex team builds every accepted signal itself and never runs code from a proposal. ### What happens to my contact details? They are stored privately for the review and used only to reach you about your proposal. They are never shown or shared. ### What license applies? The method text is published under CC BY 4.0 when a signal is accepted, with credit to you. The numbers follow the Observatory's open data license, CC BY 4.0. ### How are proposals judged? On the three tests above: public data, a clear method and a refresh rate, plus whether the signal tells people something new about the SI era. The team may ask questions before deciding.
