Every idea in this book is preregistered, backtested against real costs, and then either killed in public or promoted to live monitoring. Every mark beside this text is one technique — 92 of them across 10 research areas. The bright ones are alive; the dim majority are killed. Count them. What they were — and, for most of them, what would reopen the question — is another matter.
The work itself — what was tried, what survived, and the evidence for both.
The book as it stands today — what is running, what is queued, and what the tape says.
The platform underneath — every seam has a contract.
Hypothesis, gate thresholds, and kill criteria are committed before the data is allowed to vote.
Spread, fees, tax, and latency included. Gross-only edges are not edges.
41 of 92 techniques died so far, each with its reason banked. 13 also carry a written reopen condition; 28 do not yet, and that gap is published rather than rounded off.
Survivors run under decay monitors, breakers, and a morning-briefing desk. Promotion is never permanent.
