Everything about running Echelon in one place.
How the workspace, intelligence hub and archive fit together, what each tier costs, and where to send feedback or legal questions.
1. The EEEE model
Every piece of market information sits on the Information Radar: Expertise on Y (how specialised the producer is) and Exclusiveness on X (how few people have seen it). Every way of acting on it sits on the Strategy Matrix: Echelon on Y (macro to micro) and Experience on X (manual to coded).
Q1 — high expertise, high exclusiveness — is where edge lives. The point of the charts is to make it obvious how much of your process actually sits there.
2. Intelligence — build your own database
Paste anything you receive: a thread, a newsletter, an article link, a research PDF, a spreadsheet of fills, or a screenshot of a chart. Echelon reads it, scores it on both axes, tags it, and clings it to the closest proven strategy niche.
Accept a classified source and it becomes a dot on your Information Radar, so your reading habit compounds into a map instead of a bookmark folder.
3. Agents and the skill market
An agent is a saved instruction that biases classification — for example "only care about liquidity and positioning, ignore narrative". Skills are pre-written agents from the market; installing one creates an agent in your workspace.
4. Archive — events, courses, articles
Courses are sequenced like a language track: short lessons, XP, and a daily streak. Each lesson ends with an apply step that sends you back to the workspace to plot something.
5. Bring your own key
Pro members can store a Claude or OpenAI key in Settings. Echelon then uses your key for model calls and charges only a 1-token platform fee per action.
