Understanding the interface
Understand the DEPTH4 interface — header alerts, SIGNALS / Feed / Theses navigation, account controls, and where cascade labels live.
Orientation
DEPTH4 uses a consistent app shell so you always know where you are in the intelligence loop. The header holds account and alerts. Primary nav moves you between SIGNALS (decide), Feed (monitor engine activity), Theses (research cascades), Community, and Leaderboard. Help is always available when a label or cascade step is unclear. Legal links live in the footer — read Risk and Disclaimer before treating any output as actionable research.

How to move through a session
Typical flow: open SIGNALS for direction and room → expand contributing theses when a card is MIXED or Building → open one thesis for the full D1–D4 path → check Feed later for conviction shifts on starred names. Community and Leaderboard are secondary surfaces for overlays and rankings, not the primary decision loop.
Labels you will see often
Direction badges (RISING / FALLING / MIXED / Quiet) are tradability-grade rollups — not vibes. Signal strength (Clear signal, Building, Mixed picture, Quiet) describes consensus quality. Room descriptors (Mostly priced in, Tight, Moderate, Wide) estimate what is still unpriced. Thesis lean counts how many contributing theses lean up vs down. Learn these once in Help so you do not misread a MIXED card as a forced long or short.
