MX13 Docs

Methodology

A working reference for the MX13 research stack: what is public, what is permissioned, how data sources are handled, and where the Terminal documentation will land once the dashboards are ready.

Overview

MX13 is a personal macro terminal, research site, and market-intelligence workspace. The public site is intentionally narrow: a front door, the Fieldlog archive, account access, and documentation. The Terminal is the active data product.

The current Terminal build is temporarily admin-only while the TradFi, crypto, and AI/compute dashboards are being refined. Public documentation will stay live so the site has a clean, durable explanation layer while the dashboard surface is private.

Methodology

Source discipline

MX13 starts with official, primary, or durable public sources where possible: FRED, BLS, BEA, Census, New York Fed, Treasury Fiscal Data, ECB, DefiLlama, Hyperliquid, and official cloud/model pricing pages. Paid feeds are added only when a dashboard needs data that free sources cannot provide cleanly.

Server-side data rails

Provider calls that need keys, quota control, CORS handling, normalization, or caching sit behind Next.js API routes. Service-role and provider keys stay server-side.

Caching posture

Macro and official data can be cached aggressively because the underlying releases move slowly. Market and derivatives panels use shorter cache windows, and future high-volume tick data should not be stored in Supabase.

Panel metadata

Dashboard panels should converge on source, as-of, frequency, and last-updated metadata. Until the dashboard pass is finished, chart-level descriptions remain reserved.

Data Sources

The canonical provider map lives in the repo and tracks status, cost posture, required environment variables, cache stance, and intended dashboard use. Paid providers should be added to the business expense/API tracker before implementation.

Terminal Dashboards

The Terminal is split into three major sections. Detailed chart definitions, formulas, caveats, and source notes are intentionally reserved until each dashboard is reviewed and stabilized.

TradFi

Macro, rates, STIR, yield curves, liquidity, markets, returns, and AI Summary.

Chart descriptions reserved while the dashboard stack is under review.

Crypto

Market, returns, derivatives, liquidations, onchain, stablecoins, flows, factors, Hyperliquid, protocols, and AI Summary.

Chart descriptions reserved while source coverage and layout are being tightened.

AI

Model pricing, GPU pricing, benchmarks, compute economics, AI Summary, and AI Arena.

Chart descriptions reserved while pricing sources and workbench behavior are finalized.

Fieldlog

Fieldlog is the public research surface. Posts are authored in Markdown, sorted by frontmatter date, and published as an editorial archive rather than a social feed.

Readers can subscribe by email without creating an MX13 account. New-post emails are intentionally minimal: Fieldlog label, date, cover image, centered title, small outlined read button, and a simple unsubscribe link.
