Four operating layers. One weekly output.

The Macro Engine is the data collection and scoring layer. Every week it pulls eight on-chain and macro indicators. Each indicator is normalised against its historical range and assigned a weight that reflects its historical reliability as an accumulation signal. The weighted inputs are combined into a single composite output called the IA Score (Intelligence Assessment Score). The phase classification and capital deployment decisions flow from this score.

Each indicator is selected because it measures a distinct and non-redundant dimension of market structure: holder behaviour, realised profit flows, institutional demand, valuation relative to long-run trend, and short-term sentiment extremes. The weightings are not disclosed. They are calibrated against historical Bitcoin cycle data and updated periodically as new data becomes available.

The composite IA Score is mapped to one of four market phases. Each phase has a name, a defined score range, and a corresponding capital deployment multiplier. The phase tells the Allocator how aggressively to deploy capital this week. It also determines whether any reserve capital is unlocked.

The phase system exists because not all weeks are equal. Buying the same amount every week during a deep bear market and a stretched bull market is capital inefficiency. The phase classification is the mechanism that changes the deployment rate systematically, without requiring any judgment call from the user.

The Allocator takes the phase output and translates it into a concrete euro or dollar amount to buy this week. It operates across three capital streams simultaneously: Fixed DCA, Tactical Reserve, and Crash Reserve. Each stream has a distinct role and deployment trigger.

Fixed DCA is the base layer. It deploys every week regardless of phase, set at a percentage of the user's monthly budget. It ensures continuous accumulation and prevents any week from being missed entirely. Tactical Reserve deploys on top of Fixed DCA during elevated signal conditions. It amplifies buys during good phases without requiring the user to make a decision. Crash Reserve is held back for extreme events, genuine 30 to 40 percent drawdowns, when most participants have stopped buying and the system deploys most aggressively.

The three-stream structure is what gives the system its asymmetric accumulation profile. More capital enters during periods of maximum fear. Less enters during periods of maximum greed. The user sets the budget and reserve levels once. The system handles the weekly allocation from that point forward.

The Terminal is the live context layer. It provides the information environment around the weekly buy decision: current BTC and ETH prices, your stack status, Fortress progress toward your accumulation target, and a curated Bitcoin news feed. It is the default view on login.

The Terminal does not affect the Allocator output. It is context, not input. Its purpose is to give users a clear picture of where they stand in their accumulation journey without needing to cross-reference multiple external sources. Everything relevant to a disciplined Bitcoin accumulator is in one place.

Phoenix Fortress is the goal-setting and progress layer. It models your BTC accumulation trajectory toward a user-defined target and tracks your position through six named stages: Ember, Fledgling, Rising, Soaring, Sovereign, and Phoenix. Each stage represents a meaningful threshold in your BTC holdings.

The Fortress uses the Smitty 5th percentile power law model to project future BTC price. This is a conservative floor model, not a price prediction. It represents the lower bound that BTC price has stayed above approximately 95% of the time since January 2009. The model is used to estimate how much BTC you need to accumulate by a target year to fund a defined level of annual expenditure.

Three growth scenarios are available: Bear (20% annual BTC growth), Base (55%), and Bull (110%). The Fortress shows your required BTC target under each scenario and tracks weekly progress toward it. The goal is not a number on a screen. It is a disciplined accumulation target backed by a long-run model.
