Why it reads faster

A footprint gives you numbers. This gives you the read.

Zones, not cellsA footprint chart prints a number in every cell and leaves the reading to you. We group the rows into the few zones that matter: absorption, imbalance and value.
Every zone has an IF and THENEach zone carries the price that keeps it in play and the price that ends it, with the next reference on the profile. No guessing what a band means.
The session as a storyValue against the session before, the POC by the hour and the estimated net as it built, so you see how the day got here and not just where it is.
