Dual Crisis by March 2008.
Sealed instrument. Watch and Act both lit by March 2008 on contemporaneous ALFRED/BBD under claim ceiling. Same physics the live Index runs today.

Watch and Act lit together before the filing
Watch = earliest Crisis vs public day of event (hit = at or before). Act = dual vs realization day when different. Do not allocate on Watch alone; do not hide Watch from clients. Mind-path episodes may be Watch-only in batting.

What the sealed backtest says.
What
Crisis
Dual Crisis
I_sys Crisis ∧ gap ≥ Orange — both clocks lit by March 2008.
Why
Body stress (housing, funding) and Mind registration (false calm) diverged before capital markets priced the break.
- Thermodynamic load crossed Crisis while VIX/HY still looked orderly.
- Entropy gap widened — official narrative lagged structural stress.
- Hit = signal at or before event day — six months of sealed lead time.
Mandate implication
A desk that needs earlier capital posture buys the instrument and the claim ceiling — not a story that “we called Lehman.”
Proof
Index vs what desks were watching
Solid line = Entropy Index on sealed physics. Dashed = conventional gauges mapped to the same stress scale. Vertical markers = Watch/Act and event days.

Blind, period-correct, sealed.
Each month is scored only on data available at the time — no lookahead into the break or later prints. Same sealed physics the live Index runs today. This page is a deterministic historical replay, not a hindsight narrative.
Blind testing is the closest approximation to real-world use: if the instrument only works when the ending is known, it cannot inform a desk before outcomes become obvious.
Episode method notes
- Engine: V5-locked Map-A point-in-time scoring with Watch and Act product clocks.
- Watch and Act both lit dual Crisis by March 2008 — six months before the Lehman filing as calendar anchor.
- This page and PDF replay a sealed backtest. The live Index is the desk instrument for the next break.
Claim ceiling and honesty rails sit below — what this sealed pack does not claim.
What we do not claim
- We do not sell a “we predicted Lehman” narrative — this is a sealed instrument replay under claim ceiling.
- We do not claim multi-year early warning stories beyond the dual-Crisis March 2008 clock.
- We do not treat Watch (gap-alone or load-alone) as Act / allocate.
- We do not claim the live face invents unpublished clocks beyond the sealed pack.
