Cipher of the Goblin signal
The goblin product team has identified signal as 'a north-star opportunity,' which in goblin corporate language means nobody is sure what to do with it.

The Goblin Verdict on signal
Field notes from the goblin Department of Loose Ends record signal as 'pending forever,' which is, in their classification system, the highest honor a topic can receive.
