BEFORE IT ESCALATES

Walk in knowing what success looks like.

Describe the situation — no files or sensitive details needed. The tool builds a brief: what to find out, how to read the responses, and what different answers tell you about your options before things go further.

THE STAKES

Most negotiations are lost before the conversation starts.

You walk in knowing your position but not theirs. You concede on things you could have held. You hold firm on things that didn't matter. Without a read on what the other side actually needs — and what you'll do if the conversation fails — you're navigating blind.

Before you talk
no understanding of what the other side actually needs
Before you respond
concessions made without knowing if they were necessary
Before you walk
no clarity on what you'll do if the conversation fails
Before things escalate
informal conversations that quietly become legal exposure
Every one of these has a before. Signal lives there.
HOW IT WORKS

Four steps. One clear negotiation brief.

01
Describe the situation.
What's happening, who the other party is, where things stand, and what's already been said. The tool works from what you know.
02
The tool maps what matters.
What you need to find out. What the other side likely needs. What's already been communicated that could affect your position.
03
You get a negotiation brief.
How to open the conversation. How to structure it. How to read the responses — and where your walk-away is.
04
You know exactly when to call Signal.
If they reference a lawyer, a claim, or a limitation period — the brief tells you. That's when a Signal lawyer takes it from there.
