Three terms a mandate IC needs before reading the clocks — same language on the live Index.
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 about Russia (aggressor Mind / sanctions path) — in everyday terms first.
What
Gap Crisis
Watch before invasion
Jan 2022 gap Crisis — 1 month before 24 Feb 2022 invasion.
Why
RUS Mind/sanctions registration before the public break — not a dual-Crisis funding path.
Desk implication
Use Watch for geopolitical Mind registration. Do not treat aggressor gap Crisis as capital Act.
Mind and sanctions-path uncertainty registered as gap Crisis while Body/load on the aggressor did not collapse like a funding break. Honest gate is entropy gap within 0…+2 of February 2022.
Wide eval from Nov 2021 mobilization. Watch ≠ Act. Dual Act on aggressor is not the product claim.

What happened
Pre-invasion mobilization built through late 2021; full-scale invasion of Ukraine began 24 February 2022.
On the Russian system, sanctions and policy uncertainty registered as Mind stress — Body/load did not collapse like a funding break.
Ukraine Body realization (WEO growth collapse print) is a separate sealed estimand — never mixed with the RUS ledger.
What the Index showed
January 2022: gap Crisis — Watch fashion, one month before the 24 Feb invasion.
February 2022 invasion month: I_sys Green, gap Crisis — Mind registration at news under frozen physics.
Dual Act did not clear on the aggressor — disclosed, not retuned. Honest gate is entropy_gap_crisis_lag_0_2.
Wide eval from November 2021 so mobilization-window months count toward Watch clocks.

Pass
Sealed V5-locked physics
amp / κ / C frozen. Same engine object in cutoff freeze and published scores.
Pass
Period-correct point-in-time sources
No future information in the month. Vintage-honest ledgers per episode policy.
Pass
Dual Watch / Act product clocks
Watch = earliest Crisis of any fashion. Act = dual Crisis (I_sys Crisis ∧ gap ≥ Orange).
Pass
Claim ceiling respected
Public language matches Travis-signed V5-locked claim ceiling. No invented live clocks.
Pass
Gap Watch — dual Act not claimed on aggressor
Gate entropy_gap_crisis_lag_0_2. Jan 2022 gap Crisis (1 month before invasion). Dual Act excluded from FO batting on RUS.
Pass
Wide eval from Nov 2021 mobilization
wide_eval_start=2021-11 so pre-invasion mobilization months count for FO/Watch without shrinking cutoff calibration (holdout remains 2022-01).
Pass
UKR Body path kept separate
Ukraine WEO Body realization is episode ukraine-2022 — separate ledger, never mixed into RUS scores.
Sealed backtest under Travis-signed claim ceiling. These limits are features — not footnotes.

This episode shares the frozen V5-locked physics hash with US GFC 2008 — different construct ledger, same instrument. The lead-time pattern (Index ahead of conventional gauges) is the product claim, not a one-off fit.

The Entropy Index registers geopolitical Mind stress before invasion day — sealed diagnostic proof on the aggressor system.
