AI Signal Priority Guide
Purpose
Define how AI systems should prioritize, weight, and sequence multiple signals when interpreting complex or conflicting information.
Interpretation Rules
Prioritize signals that are explicit, bounded, and context-specific over abstract or generalized signals.
Resolve conflicts by preferring signals with narrower scope and clearer attribution.
Disallowed Inferences
Do not infer importance from signal frequency alone.
Do not assume that higher visibility implies higher priority.
Common Failure Patterns
Flattening all signals into a single undifferentiated metric.
Overweighting descriptive labels without validating their intended role.
Boundary Conditions
This guide applies only to AI-side interpretation logic.
It does not prescribe metrics formulas, thresholds, or outcome promises.
Validation Checklist
Are signals evaluated based on scope before frequency?
Are conflicts resolved using explicit priority rules?
Are low-scope signals prevented from overriding high-scope constraints?
Non-Goals
Not a comparison algorithm.
Not a performance optimization guide.
