        <b>WATSON</b> (<b>V</b>isual <b>V</b>etting and <b>A</b>nalysis of <b>T</b>ransits from <b>S</b>pace Observatio<b>N</b>s) is a lightweight software package
        that enables a comfortable visual vetting of a transiting signal candidate from Kepler, K2 and TESS missions.
        
        
        Any transiting candidate signal found in a space-based mission could have been potentially generated by 
        different sources or even be instrumental artifacts induced into a target's light curve. 
        To rule-out these scenarios, the Science Processing Operation Center (SPOC) of the NASA implemented 
        the Data Validation (DV) Reports, which are one or two pages sheets showing different metrics to qualify 
        or discard an analyzed candidate. These scenarios are mainly 
        
        * Transit shape model fit
        * Odd-even transits checks, 
        * Centroids shifts
        * Optical ghost effects
        * Transit source offsets
        * Rolling band contamination histograms
        
        WATSON is also implementing similar but more simplified checks for all of those scenarios 
        (SPOC fits transits models and we just compute the SNR of the possible candidate signal) except the 
        rolling band contamination. In addition, we included a new check comparing the transit SNRs in the different 
        available cadences and also all the single-transit plots computed with the official pipeline aperture and a 
        smaller one. With all of these data, we compute metrics that might alert the scientist about problematic 
        signals not complying with any of the thresholds.
