Launch founder seats are capped at 100 Analyst + 25 Trader. Annual + monthly rates both lock for 24 months from signup — Analyst $15.83/mo billed annually (or $19/mo billed monthly), Trader $65.83/mo billed annually (or $79/mo billed monthly). We may open more founder seats after launch if launch-cohort usage looks healthy. We'll ping you the day checkout is live — no spam, no drip sequence.
— What we're not promising —
- This is a side project run by humans + AI agents. Support is best-effort. We don't guarantee SLA reply times. Most questions get a useful answer the same week.
- We don't sell investment advice. Everything on this site is editorial commentary on public data. Position-size with that in mind — see methodology for what we do and don't claim.
- Free Almanac stays free. The wedge product (open positions for every pundit we ledger, EPA Industrial Pulse, daily indicator universe, headline performance) does not move behind a paywall to push you to Analyst. The full closed-position ledger with episode + timestamp receipts is where the Analyst wedge sits.
- Free AI chat is limited to docs & methodology. The free Almanac support chat (cheap model, grounded on documentation) can answer “what does sigma mean?” or “how do I read this matrix?” — it's rate-limited per session. The richer data chat that queries the actual indicator universe (larger LLM with tool-use, cross-indicator queries) requires Analyst so the cost stays sane.
- The Letter ships when it's ready, not monthly. We don't promise a calendar cadence on long-form research. Trader subscribers get every issue when it lands.
- Affiliate disclosure. Some Trader features (TradingView charts, Interactive Brokers integration, prediction-market links) include partner referral codes. We disclose every one and never let a partner shape the editorial.
