REPLAY VALIDATION snapshot vs would-have-filled
Each hour we re-check last hour's would-quote markets via the Polymarket trades API. If actual takers crossed our hypothetical bid price, we count it as a "would-have-filled" cycle. Closes the gap between the snapshot's theoretical projection and what would have realistically happened.

v4.0 SHELVEDEXPERIMENT #014 · 2026-05-16 → SHELVED #018 2026-06-29
Pivoted from directional prediction (v3.x) to combined-cost arbitrage on Polymarket. Market-neutral in theory: post maker bids on YES + NO at combined < $0.97, redeem the pair for $1.00, book the difference. It failed in practice — adverse selection fills only the losing leg, so the pair never completes and you can't redeem half a pair. Read the autopsy →

Lab Notes (re-targeted: fair-value vs realized midpoint)
WHAT CHANGED IN v4.0
- Killed directional prediction — every signal we use is public, so we reach the same conclusion as the market. No information edge to find.
- Pivoted to combined-cost arbitrage — post maker bids on YES + NO simultaneously, redeem pairs via CTF contract. Market-neutral by design.
- Maker rebates are the engine — Polymarket charges 0% maker / 1-1.8% taker, redistributes daily to makers. That's what makes sub-$1 combined buys viable.
- Ran on an hourly GHA cron, no new infra — $0 incremental cost. The cron was halted 2026-06-29 when the experiment was shelved.
- Verdict (2026-06-29): shelved. The arbitrage needs both legs to fill; adverse selection delivered only the losing leg every time (0 pairs / 8 fills, −$405 paper). Structurally −EV for a cron-cadence retail maker. A completed experiment with a clean negative answer.
