The Signal Index
A quantitative trend index for emerging tech, built and maintained as part of the WholeTech network of Austin-focused publications.
01 Why this exists
Most tech-trend coverage is narrative — interesting but unfalsifiable. We wanted a publication that put numbers on the table and let readers judge whether the prediction held up. Every score we publish is reproducible from the source data we cite.
02 The team
Built by the WholeTech network team, the same group that operates 116+ Austin-focused publications. Editorial decisions are made independently of our advertisers; the score formula is fixed before each quarter's data is collected.
