Each stage of the brain pipeline depends on the previous one. If stage 1 (data source) is broken, every downstream stage produces garbage no matter how good the code is.
A healthy brain has every check green AND has at least 20 real trades labeled as wins/misses. A degraded brain has the pipeline working but lacks data. A broken brain has a fundamental data integrity issue โ fix that before doing anything else.
