A practical research sequence
Start with the question you need to answer: available liquidity, total cost, collateral sensitivity, protocol activity or portfolio exposure. Choose a tool whose input units and data source match that question. Capture the observation time and compare a baseline before changing assumptions.
Each working view links to its methodology and related tools. The public market pages load named providers automatically; local scenario and CSV tools calculate in the browser. Pausing public feeds freezes observations in the current tab, so recheck timestamps before using a retained result.
Interpretation and boundaries
Separate exchange resting orders, DEX activity and LP inventory. Use the relevant model for the execution mechanism you are studying.
The catalogue includes distinct calculations and data views rather than a claim that every measurement is a trading signal. A computed ratio can be numerically correct while its assumptions no longer match the market. Use the source references, check missing fields and retain enough context to reproduce the result.
