How a cluster is built
Narratives are collected daily from tracked public sources, compared by meaning, and grouped when they make the same underlying claim. A single thesis is distilled from each group, and a plan of published market indicators is selected to test it. Deterministic code then fetches each indicator and records whether the reading matches what the thesis implies.
