Research workflows

Replay tagged market windows instead of rebuilding them.

Research workflows need repeatable packet sets: state, tags, reasons, confidence, evidence, replay, rows, export receipts, and clear claim boundaries. Etna Alpha gives the notebook or review system a packet to compare, not just another market-data pull to normalize.

Research without Etna

The first week goes into interpretation plumbing.

The team still has to reconstruct windows, define labels, attach evidence, build replay handles, and keep export jobs tied to the same event context.

collect -> normalize -> label -> explain -> export

Research with Etna

Tagged windows are already packaged for review.

Research can compare packet behavior across symbols, windows, and workflows while staying inside read-only market-state context.

packet set -> replay -> export -> compare

Research object packet set

Window: Fragile depth watch with replay context.
Labels: Depth, pressure, crowding, and evidence posture.
Rows: Normalized companion rows can be joined beside the packet.
Exports: Research jobs remain tied to account-scoped receipts.
Boundary: Context and review only, not trading advice.

Best first loop

Research is for replay, exports, and packet-set comparison.

Monitor proves the object. Desk Monitor runs active workflows. Research is the first serious plan when longer replay, exports, and active-universe launch coverage are the point of the purchase.
