Seven lights, no verdict

Each light is one gate of the owner’s written rules read against one table, with the number behind it. kill appears only where the rules themselves write a kill or a floor (Gates 0, 1 and 4c); check is a hazard the rules name without a threshold (term structure, the IV trap, borrow pressure, a spread on the evening book); clear is the gate’s condition not met; unread is the data unable to answer, which is never a verdict. There is no GO/PASS and no count of greens. Nothing here predicts: a light describes one date, and grading belongs to the Signal Board (page 20).

The lights, every Core single

Hover a light for the number behind it, or pick a name for the full read. Portfolio fit is the owner’s own book (Gate 1, “the historically skipped gate”): 63-session correlation over 0.7 with an open position, with the 252-session figure beside it. Earnings is red for most names today because exactly one monthly sits inside 35–65 DTE and most report before it — that is the calendar, not the pipeline.

What the rules ask for that these lights do not carry

Each of these was measured before the page was built. None is approximated: a light that would be green for 24 of 25 names, or read from a column that is empty for 22 of 25, is a light that says nothing.

Chain-level OI persistence is not a light: net open-interest change summed over each name's chain was positive on all six sessions 2026-09-15 to 09-22 for 24 of 25 names (CRSR the exception, -74 on 09-21). A light that is green for 24 of 25 on an ordinary week says nothing. The per-contract, next-day-aligned version is Flow → OI's job.
Dark pool accumulation, insider buys and congress trades are not lights: no table in core holds any of them and no collector is registered for one (measured 2026-09-23).
Breakeven vs expected move (Gate 4d) is not a light: expected_move_perc is NULL on 1,727 of 2,202 earnings rows and present for 3 of the 25 next reports, because the vendor fills it about 30 days out. The vol-implied move exists for every name but is not the vendor's earnings expected move, and is not shown as if it were.
checkMarketBias, v1's check #1, is deleted by design (DESIGN.md:249): it read the predictions.bias_1d anti-signal, and no predictions table exists here to read.
There is no GO/PASS pill and no count of greens (DESIGN.md:16). Seven independent lights, each with the number behind it; the gates are run in order by the reader, not summed.

This page describes; it does not grade

No light has been scored against what followed it. When the Signal Board (page 20) grades them, the result belongs there and this page should point at it.
