Leading Indicator Discovery After the Family Rebuild

Published: February 2026 | American Default Research

The lag research remains a research surface. It no longer supplies fitted ADI weights or retired zone language.

The leading-indicator discovery page used to embed a retired chart component that read the old ADI file directly. That component is gone. This page now records the research role of lag relationships without using them as fitted index weights.

The family-v1 ADI is built from five equal-weighted domains. Each input is ranked against its own quarterly history, then averaged inside its domain. Lag research can explain why a sequence matters. The family method remains the binding composite construction.

The ADI reference page publishes the maintained national reading with its required band gloss through canonical facts.

For the detailed statistical method, use Structural Projections Methodology and the ADI methodology.
