+This folder holds supporting datasets that are separate from the core market-data pipeline.
 
-- `raw/` contains source market files used as the base inputs.
-- `processed/` contains cleaned bars, engineered features, and assembled panels.
-- `metadata/` contains layout, manifest, and feature-dictionary files that describe the dataset structure.
+- `options/` contains raw and processed options datasets.
+- `institutional/` contains institutional flow and positioning datasets.
+- `external/` contains macro, index, FX, and other outside-market reference data.
+- `metadata/` contains research notes and supporting documentation for alternate datasets.
 
-Use this folder for the main price-data workflow. Alternate or auxiliary datasets belong in `Alt Data/`.
+Keep the same `raw/` and `processed/` split inside each alternate-data area where possible.
