Frame the question

Can this event produce scenario analytics, and is the evidence strong enough to read?

Chapter 01

Scenario support is not the same as strong evidence

Trader question

Can this event produce scenario analytics, and is the evidence strong enough to read?

Scenario support is only an eligibility label. The learner still needs comparable cases, market cases, coverage tier, horizon coverage, and flags before the chart becomes useful.

Desk checklist

  • Separate support from evidence strength.
  • Read coverage before scenario cards.
  • Keep predictive language out even when the chart unlocks.

Coverage gate before the chart

Scenario analytics stay dim until comparable cases, market cases, coverage tier, and flags are read.

Chapter 01

Scenario support is not the same as strong evidence

Can this event produce scenario analytics, and is the evidence strong enough to read?

Scenario support is only an eligibility label. The learner still needs comparable cases, market cases, coverage tier, horizon coverage, and flags before the chart becomes useful.

Scenario support state, analytics gate, coverage profile, and event detail support state

  • Separate support from evidence strength.
  • Read coverage before scenario cards.
  • Keep predictive language out even when the chart unlocks.

Chapter 02

Comparable cases tell you how many events are being studied

How many similar releases are in the historical sample?

Comparable cases measure event-history depth. A small count means the learner should downgrade language before looking at any average move.

Coverage profile comparable cases, history payload, and comparable release rows

  • Read comparable case count.
  • Downgrade language when cases are few.
  • Audit rows before trusting summaries.

Chapter 03

Market cases tell you whether price windows exist

How many comparable releases also have usable Gold/Silver reaction windows?

A release can have event history while missing market windows. Market cases and coverage ratio show whether the price-reaction sample is actually usable.

Market case count, market coverage ratio, coverage score, and market-data sufficiency

  • Read market case count.
  • Read coverage ratio.
  • Name missing windows before chart interpretation.

Chapter 04

Coverage tier controls how loud the conclusion can be

Should the desk note say strong, usable with caveats, or too thin for conclusion?

The tier is a language governor. Strong, usable, and limited coverage produce different sentence strength even when a scenario chart exists.

Coverage tier, coverage score, analytics gate, and scenario summary copy

  • Use tier to set sentence strength.
  • Do not overstate moderate coverage.
  • Keep limited coverage context-only.

Chapter 05

Low sample downgrades the language

What should change when low-sample or data-quality flags appear?

Low-sample and data-quality flags are not decorative. They decide whether the learner can read a scenario card, must audit rows, or should avoid conclusion language entirely.

Low-sample flag, data-quality flags, coverage by horizon, and history table handoff

  • Read low-sample flag.
  • Attach data-quality flags to the note.
  • Rewrite strong claims into caveated context.

Chapter 06

Write an evidence-quality sentence before any chart interpretation

Can I describe sample quality before reading the scenario chart?

The output of the lesson is an evidence-quality sentence. It names coverage strength, missing windows, horizon limits, and flags before the learner moves to reaction-window interpretation.

Coverage profile, coverage by horizon, scenario chart gate, data-quality flags, and reaction-window handoff

  • Name coverage tier.
  • Name horizon limits.
  • Name flags and missing data.
  • Move to reaction windows only after the sentence is written.
