The through-line
Personalized
The default entry point is Daily Elections: today's strongest windows, ranked against the user's chart.
Inspectable
Results expose scoring lanes, aspects, blockers, and rationale instead of asking users to trust black-box copy.
Programmable
The same transit timing core is available through web flows, REST APIs, and MCP tooling for agents.
