Current Decile Output

Historical ex-ante outcomes for months matching the current 75/25 score-plus-breadth decile.

Asset Matched Months Avg 12M Return vs Base 12M Vol vs Base Avg 12M Max DD vs Base 12M DD <= -10% vs Base 12M Return <= -10% vs Base 12M Return < 0 vs Base

Current Methodology

A 75/25 rank model: 75% four-factor score percentile plus 25% breadth percentile, read through equal-sized deciles.

Historical Drawdown Map

Broad-market S&P 500 drawdowns, NBER recessions, and the frozen 75/25 score-plus-breadth risk rank.

Risk Rank And Thresholds

Primary 75/25 percentile rank compared with top-quintile and top-decile cutoffs.

Four Inputs

ERP tightness, Baa tightness, broad non-broker stock saturation, and broker-customer leverage on comparable rolling-z scales.

Tail-Band Cross-Check

Secondary diagnostic bands from score thresholds and breadth. The primary model is the decile rank above.

Regime Asset Months Share Avg 12M Return Avg 12M DD 12M DD <= -10% 12M Return <= -10% 12M Return < 0 Dual Score

Individual Factor Checks

Each factor tested alone using the same live threshold discipline.

Primary Decile Calibration

Equal-sized historical buckets for the 75/25 score-plus-breadth rank. This is the main empirical read.

Quintile Months Avg Rank Avg Score Avg Breadth Avg 12M Return 12M DD <= -10% 12M Return <= -10% Dual Score
Decile Months Avg Rank Avg Score Avg Breadth Avg 12M Return 12M DD <= -10% 12M Return <= -10% Dual Score

Breadth Backup

The same model collapsed to active factor count. This is a confirmation layer, not the primary score.

Flags Months Avg 12M Return 12M DD <= -10% 12M Return <= -10%

Pure Score Deciles

Diagnostic: same four factors without the 25% breadth rank. Kept for comparison because the variants were close.

Decile Months Avg Score Avg Breadth Avg 12M Return 12M DD <= -10% 12M Return <= -10% Dual Score

Factor Overlap / Independence

Tests whether the four flags behave like distinct mechanisms or duplicated risk-appetite signals.

Data Freshness

The primary read is capped where all four primary factors are actually observed.
