▼ how it works

How this works, explained simply

A tool that figures out how the world economy would react to big ‘what if’ events — before they happen. Here’s the honest how-and-why.

What is this, in normal words?
It’s a ‘what if’ machine for the economy. You describe something big — a war, a crash, a surprise from a central bank — and it explains how money, prices, and companies would likely react: what goes up, what goes down, who benefits, who gets hurt. Think of it as a flight simulator, but for the economy instead of a plane.
How does it come up with an answer?
It reasons in four steps: (1) why the event matters, (2) which companies and prices get hit first, (3) the knock-on effects that ripple outward, and (4) the non-obvious angle most people miss. Then it gives you concrete numbers instead of vague hand-waving — and explains the jargon as it goes.
What does DEEP MODE do?
Normal mode answers from general knowledge in about 2 seconds. DEEP MODE first reads today’s real news, picks the articles that actually relate to your question, and bases the answer on what’s happening right now — then shows you which articles it used. It’s slower (~6s) but more grounded in reality.
Where does the news come from?
A live news feed refreshes every 5 minutes across about a dozen topics — markets, oil, gold, crypto, central banks, war, China, energy, supply chains. That feed powers both the scrolling headline bar and Deep Mode.
How up-to-date are the answers?
Headlines update every five minutes. Answers are re-figured each day, so asking the same question tomorrow re-runs it against tomorrow’s world — nothing silently goes stale. You can also force a fresh answer anytime.
Is this financial advice?
No — and that’s important. This is a tool for understanding and thinking in probabilities, not a recommendation to buy or sell anything. It can be wrong, markets are unpredictable, and you should never make money decisions based on it alone.
