# Signal Fusion, Visualized — Alpha Factory Infographic

**Canonical URL:** https://stratcraft.ai/alpha-factory/signal-fusion-infographic

## Three Infographics

Three pictures that explain the take-C thesis end-to-end: what fuses with what, how five methods produce one decision, and why the combinator is the only layer worth charging for.

## Key Visualizations

1. **Layer Stack** — Signal Packs (A) consume Data Layers (B), Combinator (C) fuses the outputs
2. **Fusion Flow** — Five methods (equal, confidence, vote, max, min) taking many SignalOut reads → one FusedOut
3. **Firm Evidence** — Four firms, one pattern: Medallion (fusion lived), LTCM (no fusion died), Jane Street (quoting engine lived), QuantConnect (signal marketplace died)

## Thesis Summary

- Signals are commodities — widely available, easily replicated
- Data layers are commodities — L1 OHLCV is free, L2 factor libraries are purchasable
- The combinator is the moat — the specific way you weight, rank, and schedule is what competitors cannot copy
- Four firms, spanning 35 years and multiple asset classes, converge on the same pattern
