ADF · Asymmetric Deviation Framework — semiconductor supply-chain research

Semiconductor supply-chain forecasts, timestamped before they resolve.

Each forecast is hashed and anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain when it is written, then graded mechanically against a rule fixed at the same moment. Open, confirmed and disconfirmed are all shown below, read live from the public ledger.

HONESTY NOTE
No hit-rate is claimed — nothing has reached its resolution date yet, so there is nothing to score. 2 sacrificial test drills sit in the ledger too, labelled and never deleted — dress rehearsals of the sealing machinery, not forecasts, so they are kept off this board. The repo is append-only: nothing is edited or removed once sealed.
