Causal tree

A thesis is decomposed into verifiable assumptions. Each node has a probability and importance weight.

Edge

An edge is the gap between market price and the model-implied price.

Edge types

  • consensus_gap: market and thesis disagree on fundamental probability
  • attention_gap: market has not reacted to recent information
  • timing_gap: market prices short-term risk while thesis prices long-term outcome
  • risk_premium: market embeds fear/greed premium the thesis does not

Signals

Indicators

Kill conditions

Before evaluation, the system asks whether recent events fundamentally break a core assumption. If yes, the threat is surfaced before any positive case.

Track record

Track record measures whether past detected edges subsequently moved toward the model-implied price. It is used as calibration context for later evaluations.
