# Read the spec before you decide.

The Signal Specification & Integration Guide documents the output of the Increase Alpha Quantitative Signal. Contains the 84-column schema, the ten forecast horizons, the file conventions, and how to ingest it.

## What is in the guide

Don’t take our word for it, see the way the plumbing is built. This is the document we send to fund managers scoping an integration, so you can decide whether the feed fits your stack.

## Signal Specification Guide

- The complete 84-column schema in canonical order with field name, type, population status, and definition for every column.
- An annotated production record: one ticker, one file date, read across all ten forecast horizons, with each field explained.
- How delivery works: the daily forecast file, the with-actuals file on a T+10 lag, and how the two reconcile against a historical archive running back to June 2021.
- Ingestion notes, validation checks, edge cases, and Snowflake DDL.

## Documented Output Structure

This guide documents the structure of the output. There is no performance data in it and no methodology in this document. For track record and performance data, give us your watch list and we will show you what the signal says about it.
