Are the data examples live?

Prices and observations are fetched from Watchtower sources, not sample numbers. Cryptocurrency cards show source-dated USD market snapshots; ECB currency cards are dated reference fixings, with derived cross-rates labelled. The data refreshes in the background. Each source has its own cadence. Source observation dates, partial coverage and last-known snapshots are visible in the evidence panel. Reference imagery is clearly labelled.

Can I save my research?

Pro includes saved investigations, reports, alerts and exports, so you can return to an idea and keep the supporting evidence together.

What does Pro include?
