Matrix crawls forecasters, the demand index, fashion press and retail supply, then extracts factual signals from each. A trend's stage is computed from how many independent source classes corroborate it and how recent the signals are: a forecaster calling something first reads as emerging; in-market press and retail as peak; agreement across classes as rising; a thinning signal as declining. Momentum blends corroboration, signal volume and recency. The index recomputes on every crawl.
