Anomaly Monitor
Spot mismatches between spot action, forecast direction, exposure logic, and event context before they resolve violently.
Some of the best setups start as “this makes no sense”
Professional users often monetize situations where the tape, narrative, and model logic disagree. Without an anomaly layer, that opportunity stays invisible.
Quantify the mismatch
Anomaly Monitor gives the user a score, label, and explanation for where the current commodity state looks unusual. It should work as both a research aid and an alert surface.

The demo uses the current CommodityNode data stack and your saved workflow context so each product page behaves like a real product surface instead of static sales copy.

How it should look on the site
- Anomaly score gauge
- Mismatch explainer card
- Normal vs current pattern overlay
- Top anomaly watchlist
Why users would pay for this
- Great alert product.
- Complements forecasting instead of competing with it.
- Strong reason to retain paid users who want edge cases.
Data required
- Live change
- Forecast direction
- Agreement spread
- Event / regime context
How to gate it
- Free: one anomaly score
- Pro: anomaly board
- Desk: multi-commodity alerting and exports
Which plan should unlock Anomaly Monitor?
Users will pay for anomaly detection when it tells them exactly when to stop trusting the easy story and start reviewing risk.
A teaser anomaly score with limited explanation.
Full anomaly monitor with context on model-vs-tape mismatches.
Escalation queue, saved anomaly states, and exportable review notes.
Cross-commodity surveillance, escalation routing, and enterprise alert feeds.
What “extreme polish” means for this module
- Explain why the score is high; score without explanation feels fake.
- Use this to trigger deeper simulator / report workflows.
- Distinguish between healthy disagreement and true anomaly.
