Practical working label — agree its meaning within your project
A screening signal is information used to decide what to investigate during an initial applicant review. A relevant work sample or credential may prompt further assessment; it does not establish role fit or predict success by itself.

Use a signal to guide a role-specific question or assessment, rather than automatically accepting or rejecting someone.
