Signal is the pro version of the Skip The Critics engine, built for Studios, Publishers, PR teams and the analysts who report to them. Every title is scored nightly from real audience conversation, with the sample size beside every number. Put a title on a watchlist and get a morning briefing on what moved and why. Pin a trailer or a patch and see the 72-hour lift. Comp sets, benchmarks, a release-week projection, talent and brand trackers, and branded PDF reports that send themselves.
I've spent months building Skip The Critics and it launches here tomorrow.
The idea, which as far as I know hasn't been done before: every review score you've ever seen comes from asking people to rate things. Critics get asked for verdicts. Star ratings get solicited on review sites. And the moment opinions are solicited, they turn performative, self-selected, or brigaded.
We read real people's reactions to every new movie and video game, score them, and tell you straight what's landing and what isn't. No critics. No paid shills.
