No single signal is dispositive. Combinations are what matter. Signal 01 Authority-for-sale listings Listings detected across broker-facing marketplaces, scored for confidence and price/age plausibility. Watchlist dataset back to 2022. Signal 02 Equipment-for-sale matching Fleet VIN matches against equipment-marketplace listings. Fleet liquidation often precedes operational exit. Signal 03 Carrier network analysis Neo4j graph of shared officers, addresses, phones, emails, equipment VINs, and surnames across DOTs. Signal 04 News and media sentiment News mentions, sentiment-scored. Surfaces theft incidents, litigation, regulatory action before they hit FMCSA records. Signal 05 Fraud and financial distress signals Long-running classifications from our research pipeline. Surfaces patterns across unstructured sources. New Signal 06 Historical FMCSA events Insurance lapses, authority revocations, officer/address/phone change patterns. Chameleon-detection combinations. Sold-MC signature detection. Section 03 · Combinations, not events ## Combinations matter. Individual events usually don't. Most vetting platforms score single events and drown brokers in false positives. We score combinations. That's the difference between flagging real risk and crying wolf. Example · Sold-MC signature detection A carrier's contact info changes alongside a new insurance carrier, within 30 days, without an officer change. That combination fires the Sold-MC signature detector. The carrier graph treats the MC as legitimate because the original officer is still on file. The operational fingerprint says otherwise. This is the post-2023 fraud vector most vetting platforms miss because they score single events, not combinations. What we flag - · Officer + address + phone change in tight time window - · Insurance lapse aggregates across underwriters - · Equipment liquidation patterns - · Multiple short-gap revocations across 5 years - · Authority for sale on broker marketplaces - · Entity graph overlap across DOTs What we don't flag - · Single revocation discontinued within two weeks - · Standalone MCS-150 filing-date updates - · Voluntary revocations - · BOC-3 process-agent mass-purge events - · Driver Fitness BASIC as crash predictor - · Single field changes with no temporal cluster Built on the ARCHI methodology FMCSA uses internally, anchored to GAO Report to Congress 2013, NAS 2017, ATRI 2018, and current FMCSA research.

Section 06 · A note on compliance **AlphaLoops does not provide legal advice or guarantee compliance with any law, regulation, or standard of care. Carrier vetting decisions remain the responsibility of the broker.** Following the Supreme Court's May 2026 decision in _Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II_, legal commentators have emphasized the importance of documented, data-driven carrier-vetting processes. AlphaLoops Risk Signals is one input to that process, alongside FMCSA SAFER data, insurance verification, and your existing vetting workflow. Consult counsel for guidance on your specific obligations. Section 07 · FAQ ## Common questions How is this different from other carrier-vetting tools? − Most carrier-vetting workflows are built around document collection (COIs, W-9s, broker-carrier agreements) and FMCSA field-change alerts. AlphaLoops adds a fraud-intelligence layer on top: proprietary Sold-MC signature detection, chameleon-detection patterns, cross-underwriter insurance lapse aggregation, and equipment liquidation cross-referenced against FMCSA events. Use us alongside your vetting workflow tool, not instead of it.
