Arcane's analyst lenses review each Convergence from different desk perspectives. Pro unlocks the full desk view, including risk bias, counter-thesis, and watchlist implications.
The read is invalidated if the same required-source combination fails to re-fire inside a 720-hour window, or if deterministic confidence falls below 70.
Issue gate: rule produces a candidate with ALL required sources present inside its time window AND deterministic confidence score at or above the rule's threshold. Scored ex-post as confirmed / partial / invalidated. Confidence is computed from signal structure, never from an LLM.

The core issue remains readable for sharing and top-of-funnel trust. Pro access should add audit trails, named tickers, watch lists, and backtest appendices, not hide the existence of the claim.
