Getting Started
Welcome to Palanor
What Palanor is, what it is not, and how to get oriented in the first ten minutes.
Your First Week
A sensible cadence for the first five working days inside Palanor.
Mobile Navigation
The 9-dot launcher in the top-left of the mobile chrome opens the full Palanor map.
The collapsible side rail
On desktop, the secondary navigation rail is collapsible. Hover to peek, click the pin toggle to lock it open.
The Palanor pilot engagement
How a six-week pilot works — what we configure, what you walk away with, and how the engagement converts to a continuing subscription.
The Palanor status page
How to read palanor.com/status — what the surfaces are, what each state means, and what the page does not tell you.
The Resources Pillar
Five surfaces of your own house — Cadence, Workstream, Finance Watch, Capital Watch, Charge — weighed against the world Intelligence is reading outside.
Practitioner, Researcher, or Steward — which account is yours
Three rings of access. Free for individuals reading the lattice, application-gated for contributors, paid for organizations running the full instrument.
Reader basics — your first ten minutes
What you get free, what to do first, and how to find the signal you care about fastest.
Member benefits — what you unlock
Writing Futures, the verification mark, Lattice Canvas, the Lab, and the personalization layer.
Palanor Data in Python and Excel
Read Palanor signals and datasets from Python or straight into a spreadsheet with your API key, and see where every value comes from.
Modules
Reports
Branded, exportable editions — slides, PowerPoint, and PDF from the same watch.
Context News
The daily business-aware news brief, ranked against your profile.
Reading the documents behind a score
Open the filing, release or call behind a Discourse score, with each score marked at the passage it came from.
Discourse
What public companies are saying on their earnings calls — tone, confidence, guidance, and the words that keep coming up.
Macro View
The morning read — Numen's daily macro brief, then the motions, the discourse, the wire, and the moves.
Your dashboard
Arrange the widgets you read each morning: add them from templates, drag them into place, and set each one square or horizontal, as wide as you need.
Markets
Beta — the S&P 500 read through the lattice: the day at equal weight, what each sector and stock moves with, what management said against what the stock did, and where the relationship broke.
Signal Watch
Macro signals you weight, with sparklines and the strength dial.
Reading a forecast
The forecast modes, the faint possible paths, and what moves the line.
The economic release calendar
When US data comes out this week and next, with the prior, the actual when it lands, and where it sits in five years.
Where a signal stands
Percentile, record high and low, changes, moving averages and unusualness for every signal.
Foresight track record
How every Palanor Foresight forecast is logged, scored against what happened, and published.
First reported vs. revised
What a jobs, inflation or GDP number said on release day, next to what it says now.
Global yields and commodity prices
Ten-year government bond yields for about 43 economies and World Bank monthly prices for 44 commodities, each a signal with its source.
Industry sizes
How big each US industry is, by NAICS code, from the Census Bureau, BEA and BLS, with the source and period of every figure.
Company attention
How much the public is looking at an S&P 500 company: Wikipedia views and Google search interest, each against the company's own history.
Hiring filings
H-1B visa filings and green-card labor certifications for each S&P 500 company, from Department of Labor data.
Congressional holdings and corporate PACs
What members of Congress hold, from their annual disclosure reports, and each company's political action committee, from FEC filings.
Scenarios
The core IP — pressure-tested futures, weighted by signals, scored continuously.
Seer
Speculative five-year futures, back-planned to today.
Council
Strategic partnership — humans alongside the platform.
Palanor Indices — the full catalog
Twelve composite indicators — six house, six thesis — each a named instrument with its own methodology page.
AI Margin Compression Index — v2 methodology
The v2 composition now incorporates quarterly AI capex from the four major hyperscalers, replacing 50 percent of the v1 proxy weight.
Updating the AI Margin Compression Index each quarter
After hyperscaler earnings, an admin enters the four AI capex values on the admin capex entry page. Save triggers an Index recompute on the spot.
Prediction markets as signals
Numen discovers stewardship-relevant prediction markets on Kalshi daily. You can also add any market by pasting its URL.
Saving a Custom Signal from Lattice Canvas
Compose a graph in Lattice Canvas, then save it as a first-class signal in your organization library.
Schema frameworks in Palanor
Ten interpretive frameworks — Dalio, Minsky, Shiller, Marks, Soros, Marathon, and Palanor’s own — scored against live signals.
Corporate events — material 8-K events for the S&P 500
What the Recent events block and the corporate events ledger show, where the data comes from, and how to read the people on leadership changes.
Operating metrics — the KPI Ledger
What the Operating metrics block on a company page shows, how each figure is checked against the filing, and what the flags mean.
Embedding a Palanor chart
Put a live Palanor signal or Custom Index chart on your own site, what can be embedded, and what the source line means.
Scenarios
Building Your First Scenario
Two paths, same result. How to choose, and how to use each.
Scenario Discipline
Why four scenarios is a useful default — and why we no longer enforce it.
What Would Make It True
Every active scenario names what would have to be observably true for it to have happened — and where you would read it.
How Probability Is Calculated
The math under the score, in plain language.
Lattice Canvas
The proprietary signal-mapping canvas — build a scenario as a graph.
How Lattice Canvas changes the scoring math
When a scenario was authored in Lattice Canvas, the typed edges between nodes reshape the probability — the topology is part of the math, not just the picture.
Reopening a scenario in Lattice Canvas
Scenarios you build in Lattice Canvas keep their graph. Open the canvas from the scenario detail page to refine the topology.
Impact Score
The ±100 number on every scenario page — what it measures, how it is computed, how to calibrate.
Sharing a Scenario
Three sharing modes — internal, public link, specific people by email — and what each one means.
Scenario History
The daily snapshot system — what is recorded, where to find it, and how to read the History Log.
Update Narrative Story (Rubric)
How to direct Numen when composing or recomposing the long-form watch for a scenario.
