# Sandman Research > Daily macro research briefings for serious traders — prop, discretionary, systematic, and allocators. Macro context before decisions, not signals. Sandman Research operates The Macro Desk: a private research platform delivering daily macro briefings, key market levels, economic calendar weighting, and end-of-session desk debriefs. The product is research and education — not trade alerts, not financial advice. Members use the desk as a structured pre-decision routine. The desk runs the same four-step loop every market day: Frame (macro backdrop), Locate (key levels and scenarios), Track (intraday catalyst and risk tone shifts), Debrief (post-session review). The format does not change across regimes — that consistency is the core value. Plans are Monthly (core research platform), Quarterly Pro (adds education, live sessions, direct access), and Annual Desk (full desk relationship and best effective rate). Subscriptions are processed via Whop. ## Core pages - [Homepage](https://sandman-research.com/): Platform overview, sample briefing request, plan summary, and member reviews - [Methodology](https://sandman-research.com/methodology): The four-step research loop (Frame → Locate → Track → Debrief), briefing anatomy, and what each section is designed to do - [Research](https://sandman-research.com/research): Public research sample and briefing format overview - [Pricing](https://sandman-research.com/pricing): Plan comparison — Monthly, Quarterly Pro, Annual Desk — with full feature matrix ## What The Macro Desk delivers - Daily Macro Briefing: pre-cash read of macro backdrop and cross-asset conditions, delivered ~06:30 ET every session - Key Market Levels: proprietary, high-precision levels across the multi-asset book with structure and scenario context - Economic Calendar: filtered policy and data events with desk editorial weighting — not a raw feed - Desk Debriefs: end-of-session reviews separating signal from noise, delivered ~16:30 ET - Education and Sessions: live desk Q&A sessions for Quarterly Pro and Annual members - News Terminal (in development): real-time news terminal, access rolled out to Annual members first ## Who it is for Prop firm traders, discretionary and systematic desks, multi-strats, allocators, and family offices who need a clean macro routine before the open.
