Chain: your own value-chain maps, priced live
Describe an industry, a product or a company and your AI drafts the map, upstream to downstream, with the listed names at each step. Every line is yours to keep, change or drop. Chains are files in your research vault and the names on them price live.
What it shows
The tabs across the top: your chains, any starter you have not put away, and New chain.
One chain. A title, a line on what it covers and when it was compiled, then two boxes: the frame (the few facts that decide who wins in this chain) and the hunt (the questions for the next pass). Under them the layers, numbered upstream to downstream. Each layer says what it makes, what it buys from the layer before and what it sells to the layer after, and carries the listed names on it with their symbol and live price.
Receipts. Every name and every edge carries a receipt: disclosed in a filing, on record, or reported, so the reader knows how firm a link is. A name already on a watchlist is marked.
Where each number comes from
| Item | Source |
|---|---|
| The draft of a new chain | The AI you chose in Settings, from your description, through the Ask box's engine |
| Prices on the names | Yahoo's free feed, or your broker for home-market names it quotes |
| The chain itself | A plain file in your research vault, chains/<id>.json, which your AI agent can read and write too |
Drafting needs an AI connected; the rest needs no key.
What you can do here
- New chain: describe it and press Draft it; keep, change or drop any layer, name or edge; save.
- Edit and Delete on any chain you own; a starter can be put away and brought back.
- Hover a name for the ⋯ menu, click it for its ticker page. A name on any screen can be put on a chain from its own ⋯ menu.
Chains live beside your notes and appear on the name's timeline. Chains has the file shape and the way an agent adds one.
