Axel Index is an educational tool. It does not constitute financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.
Construct · Financial Transition Readiness

Compression Rate

The clock of the field; makes early readiness disproportionately valuable.

Canonical Definition

Speed at which option sets close as execution approaches (A5).

Why It Matters

The clock of the field; makes early readiness disproportionately valuable.

Methodology Notes

Option-set decay by phase, by class.

Inputs: option availability by phase · transition class

Outputs: compression points/period

Research Status

This concept is classified research in the Axel Intelligence canon (family: temporal). Status reflects research maturity: canonical (outcome-validated), provisional (defined, validation in progress), or research (under active study).
