Mixed Signals
This lane exists for the exact kind of uncertainty that keeps people checking their phone, replaying situations, and wondering whether distance means disinterest or just unstable attention.
It now works like a real mixed-signals shelf, with separate reads built around ambiguity, inconsistency, almost-clarity, and the magnetic charge of not quite knowing where you stand.
What this shelf is for
Mixed Signals is the right lane when the problem is not simple rejection or simple interest. It is uncertainty with just enough warmth, reinforcement, or eye contact to keep the whole loop alive.
