Independent corporate intelligence
The public record shows the facts. Signal finds the pattern.
Signal monitors public companies, analyzes proxy ballots, and investigates the patterns that may become governance, regulatory, or litigation events. Our work begins before consensus.
The structure
One firm. Three operating lines.
Signal is organized as a holding structure so that liability, independence and capability stay cleanly separated. The consumer-facing identity is Signal Corporate Intelligence.
PARENT
Signal Law Group
The parent research and investigations firm. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. It holds the brand, methodology and independence standards.
PRODUCT
Signal Proxy Intelligence
The recurring proxy-research product. Item-by-item positions on every covered ballot, published within 48 hours of the definitive filing.
DEPTH
Signal Research
The deeper investigative capability. Structured, public-record reviews of disclosure, governance, consumer and control questions.
Independence
The conflict is removed by design, not softened by disclosure.
The proxy product takes no issuer-side revenue. That single structural fact is what lets Signal read a ballot from the common shareholder’s seat and publish a position that can run against the company and against the incumbent advisers.
NO ISSUER REVENUE
Who pays
SPI is not paid by the companies it covers. The core proxy-advisory conflict is absent.
NAMED ANALYSIS
Who is accountable
Every position and profile carries a responsible byline and a versioned methodology.
PUBLISHED EARLY
When it appears
Positions publish before the meeting, not explained after the result is known.
KEPT VISIBLE
What stays
Corrections and misses remain on the record. The track record is auditable.
PUBLIC SOURCES
What it rests on
Every claim ties to a public filing or record. Nothing relies on non-public material.
Methodology
This week on the Wire.
Public record in
Proxy filings, 8-Ks, ownership reports, market data and public complaints enter a living company record.
Decomposed to items
Ballots and filings are broken into atomic items so each can be reasoned and recorded on its own.
Scored continuously
Signal density, momentum, divergence and horizon update as the record develops.
Reconciled to outcome
Reported votes and subsequent events close the loop against the original published position.
Leadership
Experience on both sides of the public-company table.
Lou Schwartz
Chief Forensics Officer
Operating judgment meets forensic discipline.
Lou Schwartz leads Signal’s investigative methodology, company-signaling frameworks and research on emerging corporate, governance and disclosure risk.
His background spans trailblazing work in streaming video technology, corporate securities, M&A, and public company leadership. That operating experience shapes Signal’s central question: not only what a company disclosed, but what incentives, structures and sequencing suggest may happen next.

A note on what Signal is
Research and investigations — not a law firm.
Signal Law Group is an independent research and investigations firm. It is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and is not an investment adviser. Signal Proxy Intelligence publishes research and analysis of public-company proxy statements for informational purposes only. Nothing here is legal, investment or voting advice for any specific person, account or portfolio.
