A Study holds one question open: the signals that bear on it, drawn together on one chart, with your notes and Numen's read beside them. Share it with your organization and it becomes the reference read on that question.
The scale you choose is the scale everyone sees
Signals in different units only compare well on a common scale. Choose one under Normalize: z-score (how far each reading sits from that signal's own five-year average, in standard deviations; the default), % of first (each signal indexed to 100), or Raw. The Study saves your choice, and its card on the Studies page draws in the same scale, with each signal's latest reading shown the same way (z-scores in σ).
The card window
A card shows the last thirty days. When a signal reports slowly (quarterly or annual), or has repeated the same value for weeks, the card stretches until it shows the signal's recent moves, and the card names the window.
A forecast for every signal
Turn on Foresight™ and every signal on the chart gets its own projection, drawn as a lighter dashed line with its band, in the Study's scale. A signal Foresight is holding at its last value says so in the legend. A signal that cannot be projected says No forecast and why. Nothing is left out silently.
