⚖ Why this verdict

fully deterministic — evaluate.py replays this from daily closes; nothing below is editable or hand-set

1. Window: 2024-08-09 → 2025-08-09 — first mention + 12-month horizon, then the window locks.
2. The call: ▼ SHORT XLI (primary play). XLI rose 23.1% over the window → direction-adjusted R = -23.1% (the call lost money).
3. Benchmark: holding SPY over the same window returned +21.0% → α = -23.1 − (+21.0) = -44.2% — what this call made or lost against just owning the index. This is the number the verdict uses.
   Stock-selection read: -2.1% — did XLI move the predicted way relative to the market. The two only differ on a SHORT: this call was right about direction relative to the index but still cost money versus holding it.
4. Rule fired:
   · HIT — R ≥ +10% AND α ≥ +5

   · PARTIAL — R ≥ +5% OR α ≥ 0

   ▶ MISS — everything else
5. Credit: supporters of a MISS earn 0 each, opposers the inverse — this feeds the scoreboard weights. supported: Friedberg | opposed: Chamath, Jason

each voice's total force on the score — supports and opposes from every mention, weighted exactly as the replay applied them · share = % of all mention-driven movement
