Honest track record
Where branch-api ranked before each window
Activity-recency clocks + Contributor dynamics · Logistic Regression, embargoed rolling backtest: the rank this plugin held among every scored plugin at each forecast date, using only what was knowable then. Shaded months are the pre-registered holdout.
Scored at 32 forecast dates; on average in the top 1.2% of plugins (top 0.69% across the holdout). No advisory followed any of those dates within 180 days.
