Every statistic on the Validation Lab re-derives from published, derived data — on your machine, with no account, no API key, and (for the standalone path) no installed dependencies. This page is the exact procedure, the exact pass criteria, and the public log of reported replications.
Path A — packaged (pip):
pip install yuclaw yuclaw replay-lab # fetches the published bundle and verifies it
Path B — standalone (Python ≥ 3.10 standard library only, no installs):
curl -sO https://yuclawlab.github.io/yuclaw-brain/replay/lab_replay_bundle.json curl -sO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/YuClawLab/yuclaw-brain/main/tools/replay_lab.py python3 replay_lab.py lab_replay_bundle.json
Both paths rebuild the decile cohorts from bundled scores, recompute every statistic (bootstrap CI with the published seed, Fama-MacBeth IC with Newey-West correction, market-model alpha), and recompute every sha-256 leaf and daily root against the public yuclaw-trust ledger. Verifier vocabulary: a day counts as exact when the recomputed daily root matches the anchored root byte-for-byte; it counts as an anchored-subset day when the anchored block committed a SUBSET of that day's entry hashes (an intraday re-run anchored before the day completed) and every anchored hash recomputes unchanged from today's data — fewer hashes anchored, none mutated. The replay output names both counts separately; a subset day is a disclosed anchoring artifact, not a verification failure.
expected block exactly (same seed, same estimators).

Rendered from one shared source (v3/web/useful_blocks.py) on every page that shows it,
so the copies cannot drift. Statuses are measured, not aspirational.
The evidence layer is citable as a dataset: weekly snapshot tags (dataset-YYYY-MM-DD) freeze the EvidenceBench items, the 79 Ground Truth anatomy documents, and the per-day ledger roots at a commit; CITATION.cff at the repository root carries the citation record, and every EvidenceBench release prints its item-set hash so a cited item set is byte-reproducible. Derived events and verified excerpts only — no raw vendor market data.
