01 — THE FINDING

Warning time depends on the storm

Each domain has its own cascade speed. Security news gives you about an hour. Memecoins give you an afternoon. Communities telegraph for half a day. Earnings anticipation builds for the better part of a week. If your data arrives in daily bars, every one of these is already over.

What four storms can and cannot tell you

This is an anatomy, not a backtest: four storms, described honestly, captured while they were still in the posts window. 'First movers' means the earliest posts among what became the storm's most engaged content. The general claim this page supports is narrow and checkable: attention storms have structure, the structure differs by domain, and none of it is visible at daily granularity. Measuring it systematically requires the hourly feed, which is the commercial product.

07 — THE CASE FILE

Don't take our word for it

Every first-mover post in all four storms: lead time, creator, network, followers, interactions. No registration.

⬇ CSV (first movers, 4 storms)⬇ AI guide (.md for your LLM)

The .md file is a companion brief for AI assistants: schema, methodology, and validation anchors. Drop it into Claude or ChatGPT next to the data and your model starts from the right place.
