METHODOLOGY · MEASUREMENT & INTERPRETATION PIPELINE
How the three-tick loop runs and how every figure on this page is measured.
How Cortex Flash measures 50 ms p95 event dispatch and 700 ms median written interpretation, constructs standardized surprise z-scores, and enforces explicit price invalidation rules.
The Three-Tick Interpretation Loop
Tick 1 (50 ms p95): Primary-source numeric and headline extraction, consensus surprise computation, and historical z-score normalization.
Tick 2 (700 ms median): Grounded written synthesis linking the release deviation to the active central-bank reaction function and cross-asset benchmark sensitivity.
Tick 3: Explicit falsification and price invalidation condition stating the benchmark level or secondary release print that voids the initial directional read.
