Methodology & boundaries

A narrow question with explicit abstention.

The implemented synthetic reference cases evaluate a versioned technical pattern. They do not produce legal or causal conclusions.

Published daily quotations

Working mode also normalizes a published daily quotation source after explicit mapping review. The source panel records its provider, trading date, licence and attribution.

Daily quotes have no participant identities, execution side or individual execution time. Mapping approval can produce a normalization hash; case approval is unavailable and no pattern verdict is produced. A date anchor and aggregate volume do not establish individual executions.

Closed result vocabulary
SUPPORTED

Validated data satisfies every required threshold in the approved rule version.

NOT_SUPPORTED

Data is sufficient, but one or more required thresholds are not satisfied.

INCONCLUSIVE

Approved inputs entered replay, but valid evidence was insufficient for the declared comparison.

REVIEW_REQUIRED

A pre-replay mapping, identity, scope, or approval problem requires human review; this is not a replay result.

Responsibility split
AI may

Propose column meanings, bounded case scope, and human-readable explanations.

Code must

Validate, order, deduplicate, calculate, evaluate, hash, and preserve traceability.

Neither may

Determine guilt, invent missing critical facts, recommend trades, or execute orders.
