← All cascade autopsies
Descriptive record: not a forecast. This page records what our liquidation map showed before this cascade (snapshot timestamps shown), what then happened on our multi-venue tape, and the model's measured historical record as it stood before the event. Every accuracy figure carries its sample size and a Wilson 95% lower bound. It does not predict future price moves and does not claim the model forecasts when a cascade will start.

Event-level record for this one cascade: 10 of 23 published levels were reached. reach rate 43.5% · n=23 levels · Wilson 95% lower bound 25.6%. A level counts as REACHED when the cascade's traded price range ($83,923.74-$84,834.70) came within 0.5% of the published level. Misses are shown at equal weight, never hidden. One event is not a track record; the standing measured record follows below.

What this means: in walk-forward out-of-sample evaluation, the model's top-N published zones matched real liquidation clusters in 57.2% of evaluation windows (n=15 day-clusters, Wilson 95% lower bound 33.3%, basis out_of_sample_walk_forward, model v1.cal-20260921). This is a descriptive historical record of zone accuracy, not a forecast of whether or when a cascade starts.
