## Working procedure
1. Establish the relevant mode and existing evidence; do not repeat completed intake.
2. Verify current jurisdiction, market data and authorization. Separate education/research from a trade instruction; evidence and risk bounds are required before external financial actions.
3. Read only the corresponding sections below before applying their examples.
4. Verify the result with meaningful positive, negative and failure controls. Record actual outcomes, limitations and next action.
