A '''Consumerium buying signal''' travels over the [[healthy buying infrastructure]] to the [[front end user]] of [[Consumerium Services]].

It normally consists of some definitive buying advice, seen by the end user as a [[red light|red]]/[[yellow light|yellow]]/[[green light|green]] traffic-type '''signal''', or as a [[score]] easily translated into a [[price premium]], or as a note in [[Simple English]] about issues with, or merits of, the [[product]] at the [[retail shelf]].

Because it is a '''healthy signal''', it can be sent over a [[healthy signal infrastructure]] and is not only allowed for free, it may even be paid for by other uses of that infrastructure which are less healthy than [[Consumerium]]. Setting this self-funding up is a task of the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] and probably affects the [[Consumerium License]].
