# Analytical methods

> The families of reasoning the analysis layer applies\.

*Guides → Analytical models*

The analysis layer combines deterministic market\-structure processing with AI\-assisted reasoning\. Neither half is a prediction engine\.

## Method families

1. **Structure** — Liquidity\, displacement and range behaviour are described in terms a trader can verify on the chart\.
2. **Context** — Higher\-timeframe conditions are used to qualify or disqualify a lower\-timeframe observation\.
3. **Risk framing** — Invalidation is expressed before any constructive reading\, so a wrong read is cheap\.
4. **AI\-assisted synthesis** — A language model summarises the structured evidence\. It never invents price levels that the deterministic layer did not produce\.

## How to read an output

- Start with the invalidation\, not the conclusion\.
- Treat every reading as conditional on the stated context\.
- Discard the output when the stated condition is no longer true\.
