Prompt
Surface the weak signals across this notebook — the patterns, mentions, and shifts that are easy to miss because no source treats them as a headline. For each weak signal: 1. Name it crisply in one short phrase. 2. List the 2–4 places it appears across sources, with a brief quote each. 3. Explain what's interesting about it: why is it under-discussed relative to its potential significance? 4. Estimate its trajectory — dying, plateauing, or accelerating — and cite the one observation from the sources that justifies your call. 5. Suggest the single most informative next data point that would confirm or kill the signal within the next 6 months. Avoid anything any source treats as a primary topic. The whole point is to find the things mentioned in passing that may not stay quiet for long.
