Deep Dives
Thesis-driven protocol research with tracking: catalysts, risks, token design, and updates that stay coherent over time.

Design principles
- A thesis is a living document — track changes.
- Catalysts + risks must be explicit, not implied.
- Token design: incentives first, narratives second.
- Every deep dive ends with what to watch next.
Now
Active- Define Deep Dive template (sections + scoring rubric).
- Select first universe (top liquid protocols by sector).
- Launch monthly revision notes (what changed + why).
Next
Queued- Catalyst calendar + checklist per protocol.
- Risk register (tech, governance, liquidity, emissions).
- Comparables + competition map per sector.
Later
Planned- Sector roll-ups + rotation playbooks.
- Contributor workflow + quality gates.
- Versioned archive with change logs.

Phases & milestones
Strategic roadmap with target windows. Dates may shift as we learn — sequencing stays intentional.
DeliverablesKPIsDependencies
Q1–Q2 2026
NowPhase 1
Template + initial coverage
Create a recognizable Deep Dive format users trust and revisit.
Deliverables
- Deep Dive template (Thesis / Risks / Catalysts / Token design / What to watch).
- Coverage set v1 (liquid protocols across key sectors).
- Revision notes format (what changed, why it matters).
KPIs / success signals
- Time-to-read < 12 min
- Return visits per report ↑
- Consistency across reports
Q3–Q4 2026
NextPhase 2
Catalysts + risk register system
Make research operational with repeatable tracking.
Deliverables
- Catalyst calendar per protocol/sector.
- Risk register with severity + mitigation notes.
- Standard comparables table (usage + valuation + moat).
KPIs / success signals
- Fewer missed catalysts
- Higher update quality
- Retention ↑
2027
NextPhase 3
Sector roll-ups + playbooks
Connect protocols into sectors and rotation logic.
Deliverables
- Sector deep dives (L2s, DeFi, infra, AI, etc.).
- Rotation playbooks: conditions → sector bias.
- Cross-protocol dependency mapping (MEV, bridges, liquidity venues).
KPIs / success signals
- Sector reports reused
- Repeatable sector framework adopted
2028
LaterPhase 4
Versioned archive + scoring
Turn research into an archive that improves with time.
Deliverables
- Versioning: show diffs between revisions.
- Protocol scoring (quality, risk, catalysts, valuation).
- Archive navigation (filters, tags, search).
KPIs / success signals
- Archive usage ↑
- Score adoption ↑
2029
LaterPhase 5
Contributor workflow
Scale coverage without losing quality or voice.
Deliverables
- Contributor guidelines + editorial QA checks.
- Review queue + publish pipeline.
- Coverage expansion to long-tail with thresholds.
KPIs / success signals
- Quality stable at scale
- Time-to-publish predictable
2030
LaterPhase 6
Institutional maturity
High-trust research platform with long-term relevance.
Deliverables
- Institutional archive exports (bundles + change logs).
- Playbooks library as reference standard.
- Thesis post-mortems (what worked, what didn’t, why).
KPIs / success signals
- High trust + retention
- Research becomes durable reference
