Where this is worked out
This daily is the surface. The analysis behind it is carried in these titles, which are on a paid plan:
- Cross-Asset Factor Weekly — Rolling correlations, the FDR-controlled factor table, and which relationships changed sign or lost significance since last week.
- Crowding Cross-Section Weekly — COT, 13F, Deribit and prediction-market concentration on one page. Disagreement is the finding.
- Scorecard Monthly — Tracker accuracy by signal class, Brier against the base rate, lockbox results, this month's null registry additions, and what we got wrong.
