MRC classifies the regime.
Path estimates the next 1–10 session behavior.
The product adds short-horizon context to the daily MRC state: is the next move more likely to be continued volatility, recovery, or volatility relief?
Pressure
Volatility persists
Recovery
Snapback risk rises
Relief
Volatility fades
Example morning read07:30 ET
MRC
STABLE
No elevated systemic-risk regime.
Path
FAST RECOVERY
+3% upside within 5 sessions became more likely.
Portfolio implication
A quiet regime does not eliminate short-horizon rebound risk. Staying defensive can become the wrong error even while MRC remains STABLE.

01 · Portfolio use
Three decisions the product is designed to inform
Volatility Pressure
PM question
Is the next week still likely to reward defense and convexity?
What the read changes
Raises the estimated odds that realized volatility remains elevated or expands.
Recovery
PM question
Is underexposure after weakness becoming the larger risk?
What the read changes
Raises the estimated odds of rebound, recovery, or positive follow-through over 5–10 sessions.
Volatility Relief
PM question
Is hedge carry becoming more likely to outrun the payoff?
What the read changes
Raises the estimated odds that stressed volatility contracts over the next 5–10 sessions.
Directional Path and Upside Follow-Through remain supporting confirmation layers rather than separate user-facing decisions.
