Applications

Applications are published graphs: a finished Canvas analysis, locked into a fixed layout and wired to typed inputs and outputs, refreshed with current data instead of rebuilt from scratch.

What an Application is

• A locked snapshot of a graph — the layout no longer moves, so it reads like a dashboard;
• Input modules (parameters, market data, institution settings) you can adjust without touching the graph;
• Output modules (node results, market snapshots, correlation views, backtest results) arranged on a grid;
• A refresh policy — manual, or refresh-on-open for daily-reading boards.

Monitor boards

Watchboards over the scenario set (sovereign funding, carry crowding, AI financing, commodity squeezes…) are Applications too: daily-refreshed readings with threshold flags, so the morning read takes a minute.

From Canvas to Application

Build and run a graph on Canvas, then use workflow step ④ Build App. The Application keeps a link back to its source graph — every published number can be traced to the machinery that produced it.
