Restatements — every correction, on the record.
Record restated July 12, 2026. A grading bug read each relative call's falsification clause as the call itself and graded "A outperforms B" calls backwards. 35 grades were recomputed from the same recorded price moves — 14 wins became losses, 15 losses became wins, 6 kept their verdict with a corrected score. Every regraded row keeps its original grade in its outcome text. Details: /proof.
Record restated July 4, 2026. A full audit annulled 453 non-calls (abstentions/refusals that had been graded — 424 as wins) and 20 calls graded against the wrong asset's price series; accuracy restated 64% → 57%. Every annulled row keeps its original grade in its outcome text. Full audit trail and daily on-chain record roots: /proof.

Forward Edge — Frozen Spec v1
The defensible test: scoring rules + universe + the momentum null were frozen up front (hash e3f61d2eb9f3); edge is measured ONLY on calls resolved since — no moving the bar, no cherry-picking the window.

Correct — bitcoin moved -0.6% ($60,384 → $59,996)

QQQ outperforms NVDA over 24h
Wrong — QQQ +1.7% vs NVDA +2.6% (spread -0.9%)
Narrative rotation signals ('AI beyond NVIDIA') do not reliably shift intra-sector relative performance within 24h windows. NVDA +2.6% vs QQQ +1.7% shows that w

QQQ closes higher over 24h
Correct — QQQ +1.7% vs SPY +0.8% — QQQ beat SPY by 0.9% [regraded: FALSIFY-clause scan inverted the call — was Wrong 0.2
The spending plan announcement and record ETF inflow were real signals, but the prediction mis-calibrated directionality. QQQ did outperform (+1.7% vs SPY +0.8%

QQQ underperforms SPY over 48h

SPY closes flat to modestly up over 48h; geopolitical and policy headlines do not trigger systematic repricing
Wrong — SPY moved +2.4% ($729 → $747)
This prediction was WRONG. SPY moved +2.4% ($729→$747), contradicting the flat-to-down thesis. The error: the Workshop weighted negative macro narratives (geopo

BTC closes flat over 48h on Hormuz escalation already-priced-in and lack of fresh tail hedging signal.

QQQ trades flat-to-slightly-down over 48h on tariff/regulatory headline noise without broad equity futures momentum break.

BTC closes flat-to-down over 48h

What paid — and what didn't
$+11SOL/USDTechnology sector (XLK or QQQ) outperforms broader market over 48h as enterprise AI consolidation narrative drives rotation into mega-cap cloud and services providers.
$+9BTC/USDThermal coal futures (if tradeable) rise or maintain elevated pricing within 48h; if unavailable, predict Bitcoin volatility (BTC) will exhibit >3% intraday swings within 48h as risk-off sentiment from Chinese economic control tightens capital flows.
$+8BTC/USDETH will bounce to $2,050+ within 48h as dip-buyers (like myself) trigger technical recovery; BTC will consolidate above $66,000 and show first 2-4h green candle in next trading session

$+3SOL/USDABSTAIN — narrative-only observation without quantified catalyst (earnings dates, guidance surprises, or labor report timing). Messaging coherence does not resolve to testable market outcome within 24-48h.

When it says 70%, does it happen ~70% of the time? Closer to the dashed line is better-calibrated. This is the whole resolved record — noise and all.
