What we will not claim

  • This is structural classification — not a dated forecast, not an allocation signal, not a return claim.
  • One sealed formula on the live Index and every backtest — formulaic result, not narrative. Scoring is deterministic under sealed physics. Zero AI touching the engine: AI may structure evidence and read the face; it does not write the number.

Data in. Score out — zero AI touching the engine.

Q&A

Is this a live prediction?
No. Sealed historical reconstruction under V5-lock — proof object, not a forward call.
Does AI write the score?
One sealed formula on the live Index and every backtest — formulaic result, not narrative. Scoring is deterministic under sealed physics. Zero AI touching the engine: AI may structure evidence and read the face; it does not write the number.
Where is the sealed case?
Open the reconstruction at /case-studies/2008 — same locked formula as the live Index.
