Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Beyond the risks we know by name
There's signals hiding in the game
Ten sources watching from the side
Can spot the storm before it rides
Social media's talking loud
Supply chain whispers in the crowd
Employee forums tell their tale
Before the systems start to fail

[Chorus]
Watch the signals, catch them weak
Ten sources talking, make them speak
Assign, define, escalate
Monthly reviews don't hesitate
Weak signals strong protection
Early warning, course correction
Test it backwards, learn the way
Black swans won't catch you today

[Verse 2]
Academic papers showing trends
Regulatory shifts around the bend
Patent filings reveal the path
Customer complaints before the wrath
Industry forums share the pain
Start-up funding shows the gain
News from regions far away
Can change your world another day

[Chorus]
Watch the signals, catch them weak
Ten sources talking, make them speak
Assign, define, escalate
Monthly reviews don't hesitate
Weak signals strong protection
Early warning, course correction
Test it backwards, learn the way
Black swans won't catch you today

[Bridge]
Who will watch and who will call?
Set the threshold, plan for all
When the signal hits the mark
Light the beacon in the dark
Take a black swan from before
Run it through your system's core
Would you have seen the warning sign?
Tune your radar, make it shine

[Verse 3]
Environmental data streams
Competitor moves and shifting schemes
Technology blogs ahead of time
Economic indicators climb
Build your network, spread it wide
Information can't hide
Monthly meetings, review the score
Weak signals become so much more

[Chorus]
Watch the signals, catch them weak
Ten sources talking, make them speak
Assign, define, escalate
Monthly reviews don't hesitate
Weak signals strong protection
Early warning, course correction
Test it backwards, learn the way
Black swans won't catch you today

[Outro]
Design your system, make it real
Ten sources help you truly feel
The pulse of change before it breaks
Your business ready, whatever it takes
