Not financial advice. Verify claims independently.

Dashboards we insist on: per-symbol latency, reconnect storms, JS hitches — especially in calm index weeks.

Calm index vol is when averages look fine and MU-night users churn. We require per-symbol views and event-window burn maps in the ops handoff.

If the client only watches CPU, we add quote p95 before we call the sprint done.

Our flagship case study is Stock Picks — paper trading loops, quote fanout, and fixed-scope sprints.
