The situation.
As of Sunday.

Who sits
at the table.
Every brief is a map of agents — what they say they want, what they actually want, and what stops them. Primary belligerents at top, secondary stakeholders next, then the spoilers who can sink any deal, then the individuals whose decisions move tape.
Four cones.
Probability-weighted.
Read the bars left-to-right for allocation weight; tap any cone to expand its full description and the triggers that would confirm it. Probability fill is what we'd actually allocate, not how confident we are in any single number inside the prose.
The risk surface.
Eight named risks, ranked by likelihood of materializing this week. Colour-bar runs from sage for low to clay for high. The rationale for each is the analyst's structured note — not commentary.
The tactical board.
Three asset classes, one frame. Each line is action-coded — buy, sell, or hold — with the analyst's rationale as the body. Read by section: which stocks survive S4? Which crypto is independent of Iran? Which bonds bleed if CPI prints hot Tuesday?
Indicators to watch.
Forward signals to monitor — when one of these ticks, the brief's posture changes. The first is the most consequential binary. The others rewrite the brief if they break.
The echoes.
History does not repeat — but the analyst's mental models for this brief are calibrated against these four moments. Where the present rhymes, the rhyme is sourced.
