The monthly readout of the machine under the culture: eight domains, five pressure systems, nine dials. What moved, what is building, and what it means for the next move.

Measured numbers come from the pipeline: fifty registered sources feeding radar.items daily, aggregated into baseline-relative deviations. They carry their sample size and confidence, and they stay marked thin until the baseline earns them.
Directional numbers are the analyst layer: the July research synthesis across forty industry sources. Dated, sourced, and labelled as judgment — never dressed up as telemetry.
Nothing renders as live that we do not actually collect. Nothing renders as reviewed that a human has not passed. The instrument's honesty is the product.
The Scan agent reads seven days of collected items and drafts named signals — what moved and why, each anchored to a pressure system with a primary source. Only signals a human has reviewed render as live.
Draft signals are accruing in radar.signals. None have passed review yet, so this reading carries the quantitative layer only. The same discipline as measured vs. directional: a byline you can trust because it is withheld until earned.
Per-source daily contribution is capped so no single feed steers a domain. Collection began 2026-07-06; item-volume scores graduate from thin to measured as the baseline accrues.
Decode takes the climate as input: the emotional register an audience will accept before a single word is chosen. Foresight runs the pressure systems forward: which gale is your category actually in. Hindsight writes the autopsy nobody else sells.
