Attempt 1 USED · MOST TYPICAL
ok 1.9 s 9,406 in / 343 out council-pm/v1
- Sided with
- the reference
- Changes
- keep the reference: All equity lines are frozen at their reference; OIL's add fails the cost gate with no crude supply shock, and every other line is reference-only or band-pinned. Nothing material changed.
- Decisive fact
- Every non-frozen line is either reference-only (BTC, ETH), band-pinned (EURUSD), or an overlay whose only add case fails on cost and on K:news:3; the equity lines are frozen at their reference. news card 3
- Set aside
- the bull's opening c4 — OIL add fails: 18 basis points/side plus 0.96 basis points/day carry against last day's move vs normal +1.00 and 10-day momentum -3.41%, with no crude supply shock in K:news:3.
- the bull's opening c5 — Absorption is asserted, not measured; the 20-day DGS10 +50 basis points move is recent, though it has not yet hit equity prices.
- the bear's answer c2 — The rate shock is real but shows in yields, not equity prices: NDX drop from 52-week high -0.73%, SPX -1.54%, VIX 16.39.
- the bear's answer c3 — SPX's thin margin over 50-day average argues for holding the reference, not for a cut, and the line is frozen anyway.

Attempt 2
ok 1.8 s 9,406 in / 361 out council-pm/v1
- Sided with
- the reference
- Changes
- keep the reference: All equity lines frozen at their current levels, crypto reference-only, EURUSD band-pinned, and the sole open band (OIL add) fails the cost gate with no crude supply shock.
- Decisive fact
- Every line is frozen or reference-only or band-pinned; the only open band (OIL add) fails on 10-day momentum -3.41%, last day's move vs normal +1.00 and no crude supply shock (K:news:3). news card 3
- Set aside
- the bull's opening c4 — OIL add fails: 10-day momentum -3.41%, last day's move vs normal +1.00, 18 basis points/side plus 0.96 basis points/day carry, and K:news:3 gives no crude supply shock.
- the bull's opening c5 — Absorption is asserted, not measured; the 20-day DGS10 +50 basis points move is fresh, though it does not justify cutting frozen equity lines.
- the bear's answer c3 — SPX thin margin over 50-day average is real but the line is frozen at +1.02; no cut is available and the reference is the correct hold.
- the bear's answer c2 — Rate shock is in yields, not equity prices: NDX drop from 52-week high -0.73%, SPX -1.54%, VIX 16.39; it argues for holding, not for a deviation.

Attempt 3

- Sided with
- the reference
- Changes
- keep the reference: All equity lines are frozen at their current levels, crypto is reference-only, EURUSD is band-pinned, and OIL's add fails the cost gate; the reference is the right book.
- Decisive fact
- Every non-frozen line is either reference-only (BTC, ETH), band-pinned (EURUSD), or an overlay whose only add case (OIL) fails on 10-day momentum -3.41% and 0.96 basis points/day carry. Crude oil10-day change: −3.41%
- Set aside
- the bull's opening c4 — OIL add fails: 10-day momentum -3.41%, last day's move vs normal +1.00, 18 basis points/side plus 0.96 basis points/day carry, and K:news:3 gives no crude supply shock.
- the bear's answer c2 — Rate shock is real but shows in yields, not equity prices: NDX drop from 52-week high -0.73%, SPX -1.54%, VIX 16.39; no cut is warranted.
- the bear's answer c3 — SPX margin over 50-day average is thin, but the line is frozen at +1.02 and the reference 1.00 is the correct hold, not a cut.
- the bull's opening c5 — Absorption is measured, not asserted, but it argues only for holding the reference, which is already the position.
