The Onboarding Course

A fifteen-minute, four-part walk through Signals, Context News, Futures and Scenarios, and Studies.

Updated 2026-10-22

The onboarding course is a short, self-paced orientation inside the app. It has four parts, one product each, and takes about fifteen minutes in all.

The four parts

  • Signals and the Library, about four minutes. What a signal is, how to find one in the Library, how to read a signal page, and how to build your own.
  • Context News, about four minutes. Today's Read, the morning edition, CompanyCast, and the sources and watchlist that shape them.
  • Futures and Scenarios, about four minutes. The Futures Frame, testing a strategy against all four futures, and the three ways to build a scenario.
  • Studies, about three minutes. What a Study is, how to start one, and how to hear when its signals move.

How it works

Each part shows the real screen, explains it in plain words, and offers one way your team might use it. Try it now links open the live product for your organization. Where your organization already has data, such as its latest edition or its Futures Frame, the course names it.

Go in order with Next, or jump to any part from the strip at the top. Mark part complete saves your place. Your progress is saved to your account, so you can pick up on another device.

Skip it, and come back later

Skip for now, on every screen, returns you to your dashboard and hides the course prompt there. The course itself stays open. Find it any time in your account menu under Onboarding course.
