Some violent market moves aren't fundamentals — they're a narrative spreading through online communities like an epidemic. Patient Zero traces how: it finds the origin (the index case), traces the transmission across communities, countries and languages, and judges narrative vs. fundamentals. It explains; it never predicts prices or advises trading. The differentiator is cross-country / cross-language transmission tracing — the documented blind spot of English-only sentiment tools. As a narrative spreads it jumps into non-English communities (a Korean forum, a Japanese board, a German retail site); Patient Zero places every post — in any language — on one timeline and identifies the index case wherever it sits, English or not, measuring the latency of each cross-language jump.
