Editorial method

Measured first. Written second.

Public inputs only

Notes are derived from material already classified as public. Internal project notes, infrastructure status, database structure, and private configuration are excluded.

Receipts stay attached

Every number in a note belongs to a claim read by code from a public measurement file, and each claim has a receipt: the source line at a fixed version of the file, with a content hash. Each note lists its receipts. Later changes cannot move a receipt; the age of the data is recorded when a note is approved.

Human approval

Drafting never publishes. The code checks each draft number by number, and a person approves it, and its card, before either can enter this archive.

Useful, not breathless

Each note explains what the data means, what it cannot tell us, and which relationship is worth watching next. Frequency is measured before words such as “extreme” or “record” are allowed.

Cards are drawn by code

A card holds the exact words and numbers of its note, placed by a fixed template. A chart is allowed only when every bar is one of those numbers, drawn to scale from zero. No generated imagery, arrows or forecast lines.

News in our own words

A headline appears only when the daily market analysis behind these notes selected it. It is paraphrased, the outlet is named, and it is context, not a finding: a note may say what the price did around a headline, never that the headline caused it.

Risk-based disclaimers

A rule decides: the disclaimer is required for price levels, probabilities or forecasts, a directional or trading read, a call to action, and results of closed setups. Posts on X carry a short form that links to the full disclaimer. Measured frequencies and methodological explainers do not carry a decorative blanket disclaimer, and the reason is recorded.
