⚖ Why this result

fully deterministic — computed from daily closes on the scoring date; nothing below is editable or hand-set

1. Window: 2023-09-22 → 2024-09-22 — first mention + 12-month horizon, then the window locks.
2. The call: ▲ LONG SHOP (primary play). SHOP rose 48.3% over the window → return (sign flipped for a SHORT) = +48.3% (the call made money).
3. Benchmark: holding SPY over the same window returned +33.8% → vs SPY = +48.3 − (+33.8) = +14.5% — what this call made or lost against just owning the index. This is the number the result uses.
4. Rule fired:
   ▶ RIGHT — return ≥ +10% AND beat SPY by 5+ ✓ (return 48.3, vs SPY 14.5)

   · HALF — return ≥ +5% OR beat SPY at all

   · WRONG — everything else
5. Credit: supporters of a RIGHT earn 1.0 each, opposers the opposite — this feeds the scoreboard. supported: Chamath

each voice's total push on the score, in conviction points across every mention — supports and opposes · share = % of all mention-driven movement
