Cross-Pillar Agreement Matrix
Measure trade conviction through signal consensus.
Overview
This pillar provides a meta-analysis by comparing the outputs of all other active pillars. It visualizes where different analytical models agree or conflict, helping you assess the robustness of a prediction.
What It Does
The Cross-Pillar Agreement Matrix ingests the directional signals and probability scores from diverse analyses like sentiment, technicals, and fundamentals. It then calculates an overall consensus score for a given market. The pillar highlights significant disagreements, allowing you to see which analytical angles are in conflict.
Why It Matters
A prediction supported by multiple, diverse forms of analysis is far more robust than one from a single source. This pillar helps you avoid confirmation bias by showing the complete picture, increasing confidence in high-agreement trades and flagging risky, low-consensus predictions.
How It Works
First, the system runs all relevant pillars for a selected market. Next, it normalizes each pillar's output into a standardized probability score. It then calculates a consensus rating and a conflict score, visualizing the alignment of each pillar relative to the average.
Methodology
The core metric is a Consensus Score (CS), calculated as the standard deviation of all active pillar probabilities. A lower CS indicates higher agreement. Conflict pairs are flagged when the absolute difference in probability between any two pillars, |P_i - P_j|, exceeds a predefined threshold, typically 20 percentage points.
Edge & Advantage
Its edge lies in risk management. It systematically identifies blind spots in your analysis by forcing a comparison against a wide range of independent signals.
