Research Signals

review, not conclusions
RS-line FAIL cohort has weaker 20-session expectancy

Observed difference meets project sample floor but remains univariate and regime-clustered.

n 34 vs 41pre-registeredfrozen 91%
25–30% above-low cohort does not yet justify raising the floor

Effect is small and the challenger population is still immature.

Candidates

Rejected and near-threshold names that matter for methodology validation. Tracking survives future universe dropout.

Ticker Observed Setup Rejected By Exact Value Current Counterfactual 20S Result Maturity Evidence
XYZ Aug 10 VCP RS Line FAIL PASS required Ignore RS-line +2.1R 20S Frozen

The <25% above-52w-low rejection cohort originates at weekly qualification and should retain that cadence label in real data.
