A sign convention under which:
- The important items, or the items which there are most of, are designated as positive numbers.
- Items to be deducted from, or netted off against, the positive-designated items, are designated as negative numbers.
'Mostly positive' would be a sign convention used typically for a report of costs or liabilities.
The costs or liabilities themselves would be positive numbers under this convention.
Under this sign convention, any credits against, or deductions from, the net costs or net liabilities in the report, would be negative numbers.
The consequence of adopting the mostly positive sign convention is that most items in the report, or a related sheet in a model, are positive numbers.
