Files:
- stocks/index.json: every name (lower-case code, ticker, company) with its latest value. Only the "published" names form the index; "kept_back" names are computed but not steady enough; "market" is the general market read.
- stocks/spec.json: the slot families, the market read and peers rules, the card and level rules. Read it before interpreting any value.
- stocks/<name>/latest.json: the last complete press day for one name: value, parts (company, market read, peers), slot families, price, attribution cards.
- stocks/<name>/history/all.csv (or <year>.csv / .json): one row per market day since 2022.
- stocks/summary.json: per-name numbers of the index page's heat map and scatter; stocks/<name>/backtest.json: one name's back-analysis.
How to read it: values are z-scores of the news flow on a trailing year (standard deviations). close is the adjusted close; r1, r5, r20 are log returns in percent; k<K>_implied is the news-implied k-day move.
Files change once a day (final values each morning UTC): download once and cache, don't poll.
