in the correct order.
Evidence becomes more useful when the researcher knows what question each layer is supposed to answer.
What environment am I entering?
Begin with market state, structure, regime, leadership, participation, volatility, liquidity, horizon, session and risk context. The same evidence can differ across horizons, so Signal Architect keeps local research horizons explicit rather than averaging them together.
What evidence explains what I am seeing?
Move into the workspace that answers the unresolved question. Relationships investigate leadership. Positioning investigates participant arrangement. Market Attention prioritizes developing campaigns.
Is the evidence strengthening, conflicting or deteriorating?
Campaigns preserve continuity while evidence develops. Confirmation is not mandatory. Conflict, deterioration, invalidation and WAIT are legitimate research states.
What scenarios and risks now matter?
Planning organizes scenarios, instrument characteristics, invalidation and risk. Signal Architect does not decide whether a researcher should trade or execute brokerage orders.
One investigation. Multiple evidence layers.
HOME → CHART → MARKET RELATIONSHIPS → POSITIONING → MARKET ATTENTION → ADVANCED RESEARCH
Stop when the question is answered. Advanced workspaces are evidence layers, not mandatory steps.
Advanced terminology appears when it becomes useful.
Direction · Energy · Flow · Productivity · validation
Options Intelligence · Lighthouse · Institutional Participation · Temporal Propagation · Convergence
Adapt complexity, not conclusions.
Separate native state from supporting evidence.
The Chart Scanner preserves its native state and score while a separate Directional Support layer evaluates whether surrounding price-action and continuation evidence is unconfirmed, developing, supportive, established or conflicting. Automated Research applies the same disagreement-preserving discipline to Futures and Equities watchlists so developing Bull and Bear hypotheses are not silently averaged away.
Discovery is the beginning of the research record—not the end.
DISCOVERED → ACTIVE → DEVELOPING → MATURE → RESET → MONITORING → RE-PROPAGATING → REQUALIFIED
Alternate outcomes include conflict, reversal candidate, structure lost and expiration. A pullback does not automatically become a reversal: if slower support survives and qualifying evidence rebuilds, the same symbol may reappear as a requalified research opportunity.
FOLLOWING SESSION: prior support is reassessed against current evidence. Momentum may carry forward, continue developing, reset, deteriorate or fail. Signal Architect preserves the distinction rather than assuming yesterday's state remains valid.
If X appears here, where could it become relevant next?
Signal Architect treats workspaces as a connected research network. The current workspace can identify possible next destinations and the condition that would make each destination useful.
Where X is being observed now.
What the present workspace actually supports.
Which research layer may become relevant if additional evidence develops.
What would need to change before that destination becomes useful.
Example: Unusual Volume may route next toward Market Attention if participation concentrates, toward Market Sync if directional propagation develops, or toward Lighthouse / Options when derivatives participation becomes relevant. Routing is conditional—not predictive.
