The five rules
Slope upward or keep level, because a downward slope reads as fatigue; underline once; capital first letter and the full name rather than initials; no dots, strike-throughs or angular underscores; larger than the handwriting and legible. Two published practitioner sources agree on them.
What the rules claim
A downward slope reads as fatigue, an underline as stability, initials as a person hiding. These are practitioner readings rather than measurements, and they are printed as such.
What a signature does not change
The Origin number, the Master number and the name total are arithmetic; a signature touches none of them. A founder who wants the number moved changes the spelling, not the flourish.
Where the signature sits in the report
The brand section of the Blueprint, beside logo colours and the visiting-card rules. A full signature design is a separate Pandit.com service.
A note on evidence
No controlled study supports any of it. The rules are cheap to follow and harmless; treat them as habit, not remedy.

Does the signature affect my name number?
No. Only the letters do.

No, deliberately; there is nothing to compute.
