vix_term_ratio

VIX divided by VIX3M. BELOW 1 IS CONTANGO - the normal curve, three-month vol dearer than one-month. ABOVE 1 IS BACKWARDATION, which is what stress looks like. The index-level twin of the per-symbol iv_term_slope_30_90.

Provenance

Source: core.macro_observations
Cadence: daily, Cboe sessions, the morning after
Read by: the regime view's volatility term-structure sign (DESIGN.md:147) and Page 5's contango/backwardation state for the index itself
Point-in-time: RESTATED — values change as corporate actions arrive. Each row's vintage_ts records when it was computed.
Export restriction: INHERITED FROM core.macro_observations' cboe_indices SourceSpec: Cboe index values are Cboe's market data, its redistribution terms have not been reviewed, and the ADR-0014 fail-closed default applies until someone reads them. A ratio of restricted values is still restricted.
