Where to read briefs
Sanctum briefing panel — The primary surface for reading briefs. Inside Sanctum, the briefing panel shows the latest brief for the current time window. A briefing button in the Consilium header provides quick access. The panel renders the brief with structured sections — Key Findings, Risk Alerts, and Harper’s analysis narrative — when the brief includes that structure. Plain-text briefs render in full without truncation. Push notifications — When a brief is generated, Fintheon sends a push notification to all subscribed devices. The notification title indicates the brief type (e.g., “MDB brief ready”) and the body shows the first line of the brief. Tapping the notification opens the brief directly.Desk Theme context
Each brief — MDB, ADB, PMDB, and TWT — includes your Desk Theme block if you have a day plan set for the current date. The Desk Theme block is a pre-formatted monospace table showing:- Event name and desk theme label
- Trading windows with start/end times (ET)
- Prices of interest, invalidation levels, profit targets, and expected move percentages
