Signals Before Stories

Let the trace lead

Every claim starts with a measured signal, timestamped before interpretation.

Keep offsets visible

Hourly drift stays on the page so the reader can audit the instrument.

Mark anomalies once

A single blue label identifies the event without crowding the record.

Leave quiet data quiet

Flat intervals carry weight because the grid records them without ornament.
