In every enterprise, signals come from everywhere: pricing data, inventory systems, customer behavior, marketing campaigns, supply chain forecasts. Each source tells part of the story, but too often these signals are scattered, hard to connect, and impossible to trust.
At Stratum Labs, we’re building the Signal Fabric Engine™ — an architecture designed to weave those loose threads into a single, transparent fabric of decision-making.
Why a “Fabric”?
Think about how fabrics work: individual threads by themselves aren’t useful, but once woven together, they create something strong, flexible, and reliable. The same is true for enterprise signals.
-
Threads = Signals
Every system generates its own data: ERP logs, market pricing feeds, CRM updates, even human judgment captured in spreadsheets. -
Weave = Engine
Our architecture aligns these signals into a structured fabric, where relationships are visible, context is preserved, and decisions can be explained.
How the Architecture Works
The Signal Fabric Engine™ is built around three layers:
-
Signal Ingestion
Data flows in from both structured (databases, APIs) and unstructured (emails, documents, call transcripts) sources. Instead of flattening everything, we preserve lineage — where the signal came from and why it matters. -
Contextual Weaving
Using explainable AI, the engine maps signals to each other. A price fluctuation might be connected to a supply shortage, which in turn links to a missed shipment, and eventually to revenue impact. The “weaving” shows not just the output but the causal story. -
Governed Decisions
Every recommendation the engine produces comes with transparency: what signals were used, how much weight they carried, and how humans can override or adjust. This means enterprises don’t just get answers — they get control.
Why It Matters
Most generative AI tools operate like a black box: they deliver outputs without revealing the reasoning behind them. In revenue-critical environments — where a 1% pricing change can swing millions — opacity is not an option.
The Signal Fabric Engine™ creates a system that enterprises can understand, govern, and trust. By weaving together signals instead of scattering them, it turns complexity into clarity and enables teams to make decisions with confidence.
Looking Ahead
Our vision is for every enterprise to operate on top of a living fabric where AI, human judgment, and governance coexist. The Signal Fabric Engine™ is the first step — a foundation for explainable, connected, and resilient decision-making in a world where signals are everywhere.
