### **2. Adaptive Scoring System**

Each input is transformed into a **z-score** over a configurable lookback window (default: 60 days), capturing relative strength/weakness in real-time. Directionality is adjusted so that all components contribute consistently to the final score:

* Rising equities, credit, commodities → **positive contribution**
* Rising volatility, safe-haven assets, yield curve inversion → **negative contribution**

### **3. Weighted Aggregation**

Users can customize the influence of each component via adjustable weights (default: 0.1–3.0). This allows tuning for specific regimes or beliefs about market structure.

The final index is a **weighted average** of all active component scores.

### **4. Smoothing & Visualization Modes**
