PHAROS.

The terminal for The Watch: thirty boards, six charts each, built so you can read the cycle the way we do.

The Watch, research plus Pharos, is $500 a year (about $42 a month). One membership opens the research and the terminal. Prefer monthly? $50/mo

Just the mornings? The Morning Monitor is $200 a year, about $17 a month, or $20 a month: the morning note and deck, emailed to you and read in Pharos, plus the twelve Diagnostic Dozen boards and the pillar tear sheets.

// What it is

A board room for the cycle.

Pharos is the Lighthouse Macro terminal. Behind the wall sit thirty boards: twelve Diagnostic Dozen pillars, six asset boards, six Main Street boards, three framework boards, and three opening boards. Every board holds six charts.

The Diagnostic Dozen is the systematic base: twelve pillars across Macro Dynamics, Monetary Mechanics, and Market Structure. Together they feed a layered risk architecture we call MRI. This page will not print the MRI composite. The boards do, for clients.

// How to read a board

Six equal charts. Two or three live forces.

Every board uses the same layout: six charts, equal weight on the page.
Chart picks target the two or three most important live forces in that board's space, not a fixed catalog dump.
Default rotation is weekly. Biweekly only when that board's data barely moves.
Selection uses the same weights we use across the shop (Surprise already means under-discussed):

Each board's charts are chosen by a weighted model that scores surprise, framework fit, data richness, narrative and timeliness. The weights are ours; the charts are the result.

Read across a board for the story those six charts tell together. A single panel is a clue; the board is the call.
