Truth classes

Observations are cited by id and stay observed. The score and the templated text are derived from them. AI prose, when present, is modeled and is labelled on the insight page.

Causal level

Agreement among related metrics is co-movement. The badge shows the strongest reviewed relationship the insight cites; without one it stays Candidate.

Not optimised for attention

The ranking rewards unusual, broad and central movement in stored data. It does not reward vocabulary, fear, or market volatility.
