Poolwatch Selection Record — TOP vs CONTROL
Breakdowns — every rate over its own denominator

How a grade is decided
Each pool gets a verdict at entry — OK, CAUTION, or AVOID. Fourteen days later the position's realized net LP return (fees minus impermanent loss) is measured, and the call is scored by a single zero-crossing rule:
The grade is always scored against the verdict the pool had at entry — not its current rolling verdict. (The live board shows today's verdict; the grade judges the call that was actually made.)
CAUTION shares the OK pass-line
CAUTION is a tradeable-but-flagged call, not a "stay out." It is scored on the same "held at or above water" line as OK; it is not treated as an AVOID. This is a deliberate, frozen choice, not a per-case adjustment.
Void handling
A position with no usable price series (scorer abstained / EXCLUDE), or one that died before resolving (DEAD), or a resolved position whose entry snapshot is missing, is marked void with a stated reason. Void and pending rows are shown in full but are excluded from the accuracy denominator — they are never guessed into a hit or a miss.
A miss is a miss
There are no exemptions for external events — a depeg, an exploit, a market crash. If an AVOID pool went up, that is a miss; if an OK pool went down, that is a miss. Cause-of-miss may be added later as optional commentary, but commentary never changes the grade.
Verifiability
This record is append-only: resolved rows are published as they mature and are not edited afterward. It is not claimed to be immutable or tamper-proof — it is a public log kept in good faith, checkable against the methodology below.
The full pre-registration record — historical freeze (2026-07-23) + ongoing tier-3 commits — is published at github.com/GradedLP/publiciq. Resolved tier-1 calls here are recorded results; tier-2 and tier-3 entries are forward-validated against that public record.
