Selected evidence · current example

One signal, worked all the way back to evidence.

Not a screenshot and not a feature promise. This page reads the current public edition and shows one bounded example of how the desk separates observation, context, inference, uncertainty, and what to watch next. How the whole edition is made is on the method page.

Current worked signal

What changed. What surrounds it. What remains uncertain.

This is selected evidence, not the complete live desk. The Professional beta adds the full briefing, historical comparisons, dossiers, Search, Ask, current exports, and API/MCP access; alerts remain planned.

How to read this

A signal chain, not a causal shortcut.

The official item is the observation. Market, public-attention, and archive context appears only when the payload explicitly links it to that signal; a shared collection window is neither a relationship nor proof that one observation caused another.

  1. 01

    Observe

    Preserve the institution, original wording, translation, source URL, and timestamp.

  2. 02

    Compare

    When a relationship is published, measure what is unusual against the accumulating archive without converting correlation into cause.

  3. 03

    Interpret

    Mark the implication, confidence, uncertainty, and evidence that would change the judgment.

Four jobs, one evidence record

Start from the decision you need to defend.

For agents and developers

The same evidence stays structured.

This representative payload demonstrates provenance and analytical boundaries. Paid API and MCP access remain gated; schemas and public discovery stay open.
