Market context is more useful when its sources stay visible

The Tidelight method keeps events, evidence, exposure, and scenarios connected without hiding uncertainty.

Follow the chain of context

A market event can matter for different reasons to different people. Tidelight organizes research around a simple sequence: Event, Evidence, Exposure, Scenario, Decision. It gives each step room to be inspected instead of flattening the work into a single confident-sounding answer.

Keep observations and interpretation distinct

Sources have dates and publisher context where available. Market observations, sourced claims, model inference, and a user's own decision are different things and should remain distinguishable.

Coverage and freshness depend on the providers and sources available for a given request. When a capability is unavailable, the interface should say so rather than imply that current information was retrieved.

The final decision stays with you

Tidelight can help organize research and surface questions worth considering. It does not make the user's decision, and current workflows do not place live orders. Review source material and relevant risk before acting.
