Honest reading

No forward alpha has been statistically proven yet. What is running: the point-in-time infrastructure is live, every daily signal set is anchored to a public, git-committed ledger, and every statistic on this page reproduces from published derived data with one command. The evidence-risk channel (C6) is the next out-of-sample test target — its in-sample sign is known and its forward test is defined below. Everything here is research and education, not investment advice; research classifications, not recommendations.

What is proven · what is not proven
Proven (verifiable today)
  • Point-in-time snapshot discipline — daily as-of writes, zero retroactive edits (outage window included)
  • Git-anchored replayable ledger — daily sha-256 roots committed publicly before pages update
  • One-command reproducibility — every statistic + 2,847 leaf hashes re-derive from published data
  • Deterministic evidence grounding measurement — corpus grounding 0.75, citation fidelity 0.85 (definitions footnoted below)
Not proven (open, tracked)
  • Forward alpha — n=28 periods, underpowered; not significant at 5%
  • IC significance — forward 5d IC +0.09 loses significance after overlap (HAC) correction; 20d descriptive only
  • Evidence→price lead — event-study CAR is adverse at the current backfill-era sample; live-era n too small
  • C6 risk gate out-of-sample — rareness confirmed OOS 2026-07-06; sign confirmation pending (elevated arm n=2; accrual live from 2026-07-16)

A Fama–French-style decile-cohort event study: does YUCLAW's composite signal score carry forward information about subsequent realized returns? Cohorts are grouped by score decile or signal label and tracked as equal-weighted research cohorts against two references: the equal-weight universe (all scored tickers, same rebalance dates) and SPY. Derived statistics only — no raw prices. This is an event study, not portfolio management.

Inclusion rule. A signal date enters the decile study only if it scored at least 40 universe tickers (a "decile" of a handful of names is meaningless). 1 partial-universe date was excluded under this rule (2026-05-31, a non-trading Sunday on which an ad-hoc run scored 3 tickers). Within an included date, a ticker contributes to its cohort's period return only if closing prices exist at both the entry and exit dates — currently 79 of 79 tickers on the median rebalance (min 79, max 79). Top/bottom decile = the highest/lowest ~10% of tickers by composite score, i.e. 8 of 79.
Evidence-tier names (53, Canada Resources). Evidence-tier names are covered for filings evidence and research dashboards only. They are not scored and are not part of the Lab decile study or the 79-ticker forward-track universe. See the Canada Resources Evidence page and the methodology's evidence-tier boundary section.
Panel 1 · Forward (Out-of-Sample)LOOK-AHEAD-FREE
is_backfill = false · Day 0 = 2026-05-18 · the honest panel
⚠ Early forward period — 52 trading days, 50 rebalances. Not yet statistically meaningful.

Forward Day 0 = 2026-05-18; return window 2026-05-20 → 2026-08-04 (signals 2026-05-20 → 2026-08-04). A 52-trading-day out-of-sample window is far too short for any statistical inference — this is a directional illustration shown for transparency as the forward record accrues, not evidence of skill. In this early window the top-decile cohort trails the equal-weight universe; that is what the data shows and it is shown unblended.

Qualification (point-in-time): grade A/B OR >=1 cited filing OR SourceLock-accepted event within 30d; grade 'Insufficient' excluded. Evidence-quality fields exist only from the v4.0 launch (2026-06-01), so this panel is structurally forward-only — no in-sample variant is possible without fabricating grades.

Honest result: over its first 44 periods the qualified pool trails the universe (-0.87% vs +2.03%). The cohort is too young and (at the decile level) too small for inference; it accrues as evidence coverage grows. Criteria will NOT be loosened to fatten n.

Evidence age = days since the last SourceLock-accepted filing event for the ticker (stale flag at >90d). Limitations: 44 periods; decile cohort of 2–4 names; insider-evidence stream live since 2026-07-16 (batch coverage ended 2026-05-15; gap backfilled with ingestion-time as-of) — evidence ages for some names reflect the coverage gap until live events accrue; qualification uses the public grade rubric and is recomputed point-in-time daily.

Panel 2 · In-Sample Replay — Educational replay only (n=13 rebalances) · collapsed

⚠ Educational replay only. The evidence-extraction model's training cutoff overlaps this window — in-sample results carry an unavoidable parametric look-ahead bias and are systematically optimistic. Label cohorts can be as small as a single name on some dates — treat all label-cohort figures below as illustrative, not evidence. The replay's final holding period is capped at forward Day 0 (2026-05-18) so this window never overlaps Panel 1's.

This panel is not failing. It is too young. Alpha estimates are shown for completeness and are not significant; detectability improves as n accrues daily.

Honest reading: at the current sample sizes, no forward spread, IC, or alpha is statistically significant at the 5% level once overlap is corrected. The forward 20-day IC is positive on all observed dates but has too few independent blocks to test. "Not yet significant" is the finding — the statistics accrue daily and this panel recomputes with them.

Most platforms never test this. The comparison is pre-registered; results appear as measured. Registered primary: composite minus the top-scoring baseline per the registered argmax rule (persistence) at k=5 = -0.0230 CI (-0.0389, -0.0073) [PRELIMINARY] over 48 forward dates / 79 clustered tickers. At this sample the persistence baseline reads ahead of the composite at k=5 — printed exactly as measured; the window is young and the comparison recomputes as the record accrues. Interpretation note: yesterday's score and today's are highly overlapping (the composite moves slowly), so the persistence comparison is not between independent signals — a one-day-lagged copy of a slow-moving score can rank ahead at short horizons under reversal-like return structure without containing any information the composite lacks. Because it re-uses yesterday's own composite, this baseline measures day-over-day continuity and smoothing behavior, not an independent competitor strategy — the honest reading is that the daily composite is noisy at k=5, not that a rival wins.

Reproduce this page
one command, fresh environment · derived data only (no vendor market data bundled or required)
# packaged (v5.0+)
pip install yuclaw
yuclaw replay-lab

# or fully standalone (stdlib only, nothing to install)
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

The script (Python ≥3.10, standard library only; pip install yuclaw optionally adds the full SDK) rebuilds the decile cohorts from the bundled composite scores, re-derives every cohort period return, recomputes all Panel-3 statistics (same bootstrap seed), and — the tamper-evidence step — recomputes every forward snapshot's sha-256 leaf hash from disclosed derived inputs and rolls them into daily roots that must match the public yuclaw-trust ledger. It exits non-zero on any mismatch.

this build derives from: source commit cddaa19d7b02 · ledger block 2026-08-04 · daily root f0847a4b5a42d9ca… · 55 public ledger blocks

Compliant data path: the bundle contains YUCLAW-derived data only — scores, locked labels, component scores, content hashes, and derived period returns. No raw vendor OHLCV rows are exported (data-provider terms). Analyses requiring raw prices need the user's own licensed price feed.

Status — proven · not proven · accruing

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.

Proven (verifiable today)
  • Replay works — one command reproduces every Lab statistic and ledger root from published data
  • Ledger anchored daily — sha-256 daily roots committed to a public git repository before pages update
  • Evidence traces to filings — every accepted event carries a source URL, accession number, and verified excerpt
  • Coverage measured — SEC-filer weight per lens is stated as measured, never rounded up
  • Snapshots are point-in-time — daily as-of writes, zero retroactive edits (outage window disclosed, not repaired)
  • Evidence-tier names are never scored — enforced by positive gating and a standing negative check
Not proven
  • Forward alpha — no spread, IC, or alpha significant at 5% with adequate power
  • C6 risk-gate sign — rareness confirmed OOS 2026-07-06 (22% fire rate, n=9 held-out); sign confirmation pending (elevated arm n=2; accrual live from 2026-07-16)
  • Peer-model CAR lead — event-study lead over peer models is not established; live-era sample remains small
Accruing
  • · Forward out-of-sample record — one period per trading day, accruing daily
  • · Matured CAR events — each accepted event matures into the event study after its forward window completes
  • · C6 elevated arm — live Form-4 ingestion since 2026-07-16 restores the insider stream to production inputs
  • · External replications — the replication log accrues as independent runs are reported
Reproduction challenge

Independent replication is invited. Run the three commands in "Reproduce this page"; the script exits non-zero on ANY mismatch between recomputed statistics and this page, or between recomputed hash roots and the public ledger. If you find a mismatch, the ledger is broken and we want to know: open an issue with the script output. Replications that confirm are equally welcome — independent verification is the point of publishing the bundle.

Data Integrity Log

Infrastructure note (Jun 26 – Jul 3, 2026) — a network outage on the research host interrupted external data feeds. Daily signal snapshots continued to be written on-box, point-in-time, throughout the window — but from Jun 26 to Jul 2 their price-derived inputs were frozen at Jun 25 closes (the price feed was unreachable), and this page was not republished during the outage. Price history and SEC filing ingestion were restored and backfilled on Jul 3, and the filing window was re-checked against EDGAR on Jul 5 (no missing filings). No snapshot or ledger row was retroactively edited: the outage-window snapshots stand exactly as written, stale inputs and all.

Live Form-4 ingestion enabled 2026-07-16. Insider-event stream restored to production inputs (batch coverage previously ended 2026-05-15; the gap is backfilled with ingestion-time available_as_of and cannot affect past replays). C6 elevated-arm accrual for the out-of-sample sign study begins from this date.

Policy: disclosures are never deleted; presentation may be compressed, substance may not. Fabricating retroactive point-in-time data would invalidate the replayable ledger; the disclosed staleness is the honest record. See also methodology.

Definitions (exact internal rubric, deterministic verifier — no LLM in the loop):
Corpus grounding = points_grounded / points_total across the filing corpus, where an agent key-point is grounded iff it carries ≥1 citation that verifies as a verbatim (whitespace/case-normalized) span of the source filing AND every numeric token in the point appears within those verified quotes; ungrounded points are discarded with the reason recorded.
Citation fidelity = citations_verified / citations_total — the share of quoted spans an agent cites that locate as verbatim spans of the source filing after whitespace/case normalization. Verifier source: v5/swarm/grounding.py.

Methodology summary

Equal-weighted cohorts, rebalanced at each signal date, ranked by composite total_score; top/bottom decile (~10%, currently 8 of 79). References: the equal-weight universe cohort (all scored tickers, identical rebalance schedule) and SPY. Returns are close-to-close from internal price_history (derived statistics only — raw prices never shown). Inclusion rule: a signal date enters the study only if it scored ≥40 tickers; a ticker contributes only when entry and exit closes both exist. The in-sample replay's final holding period is capped at forward Day 0 so the two panels' return windows never overlap. The two panels are never blended. Annualized figures are intentionally omitted — annualizing a weeks-long window is misleading; cumulative return over N trading days is shown instead. Full methodology, including the in-sample look-ahead disclosure, is in methodology/validation_lab.md.
