Design principles
  • Signal > noise (every chart must answer a question).
  • Explain the ‘why’ with context, not vibes.
  • Cohorts + venues (flows without attribution are half a story).
  • Fast read, deep reference (snapshots + drilldown).
Now
Active
  • Define core dashboards (ETF, exchange, stablecoin, bridge flows).
  • Standardize metrics + naming (so research stays consistent).
  • Publish weekly flow snapshot template.
Next
Queued
  • Cohort attribution (whales / smart money / retail proxies).
  • Regime detection (trend vs mean-reversion environments).
  • Alerting rules (thresholds + confirmations).
Later
Planned
  • Composite signal scoring per asset.
  • Backtesting signal reliability by regime.
  • Institutional-grade exports + API.

Phases & milestones

Strategic roadmap with target windows. Dates may shift as we learn — sequencing stays intentional.

DeliverablesKPIsDependencies
Q1–Q2 2026
NowPhase 1
Foundation & instrumentation

Lock the data model and deliver the first dashboards that traders revisit.

Deliverables
  • ETF flow dashboard (BTC/ETH + sector proxies).
  • Exchange netflow + reserve delta (top venues).
  • Stablecoin issuance/burn + velocity proxy.
  • Weekly snapshot format (HTML) with notes.
KPIs / success signals
  • Weekly repeat reads ↑
  • Dashboards load fast
  • Clear metric definitions
Q3–Q4 2026
NextPhase 2
Cohorts & venue attribution

Add attribution layers so flows become actionable, not raw numbers.

Deliverables
  • Cohort tagging: whale vs mid vs retail proxy buckets.
  • Venue segmentation: CEXs, ETFs, bridges, L2s.
  • ‘Flow context’ module: delta vs 4-week baseline.
KPIs / success signals
  • Signal hit-rate tracking
  • Better ‘why’ explanations
  • Reduced false alarms

NextPhase 3
Regime engine + alerts

Detect regime shifts and notify users only when it matters.

Deliverables
  • Regime classification: risk-on/off, trend/mean-revert.
  • Alert rules: threshold + confirmation + cooldown.
  • Monthly ‘flow thesis’ note tying regimes to positioning.
KPIs / success signals
  • Alert precision ↑
  • Fewer but higher-signal alerts
  • Retention ↑

LaterPhase 4
Composite signals + coverage expansion

Turn dashboards into a decision system with repeatable scoring.

Deliverables
  • Composite flow score per asset/sector.
  • Asset expansion: majors → liquid alts → thematic baskets.
  • Study library: ‘what worked in which regime’.
KPIs / success signals
  • Score adopted weekly
  • Coverage breadth without dilution

LaterPhase 5
Institutional layer

Exports, reliability tracking, and workflow integration.

Deliverables
  • Exports (CSV/JSON) + scheduled reports.
  • Reliability metrics by signal + regime.
  • API endpoints for dashboards and alerts.
KPIs / success signals
  • Paid conversions ↑
  • Pro workflows enabled
  • Retention ↑

LaterPhase 6
Platform maturity

A durable flows product with an evolving research loop.

Deliverables
  • Multi-venue normalization (new venues plug-in).
  • Continuous research cadence + archived playbooks.
  • Refined scoring + calibration using historical regimes.
KPIs / success signals
  • High trust score
  • Stable delivery cadence
