The Trading Floor — Tab 2 of 9

Theses

Research & conviction layer

Theses are the origin point of desk workflow. Each idea moves through draft, pending review, active, paused, or closed — with conviction voting, threaded comments, attachments, and per-thesis performance KPIs so the team knows which narratives actually pay.

How it fits the floor

Theses sits inside The Trading Floor — the same sidebar tab that holds Team Pulse, the thesis → setup → execution pipeline, guardrails, allocations, and attribution. Retail journals bolt on a teams page; The Final Tape mirrors how prop desks actually operate.

Frequently asked questions

Can setups exist without a thesis?

Setups are linked to an active thesis. This keeps the desk pipeline explicit: idea first, plan second, execution third.

Who can change thesis status?

Permissions follow team roles (owner, admin, trader, analyst, viewer). Admins and owners manage workflow transitions; traders typically originate drafts.
