Feasibility protocols research

Whether a mechanism can be tested at all, based on point-in-time data lineage, execution realism and document coverage, is decided before any return data is opened.

A feasibility protocol asks whether a mechanism can be tested at all, and it is decided before any return data is opened. Three things have to be true: the evidence must exist in a point-in-time form, it must be extractable at a rate the identity assumes, and the resulting positions must be executable at a cost the mechanism can pay. If any one fails, the idea is not weak. It is unmeasurable here, which is a different and more useful verdict.

The order is deliberate. Opening return data is the expensive step, because it consumes a hypothesis from a finite budget and it can never be un-consumed: once a researcher has seen how a candidate performed, every subsequent choice about it is contaminated by that knowledge. Deciding feasibility first keeps the expensive step for candidates that could survive it.

What these protocols found is not encouraging, and it is published anyway. Several documented mechanisms were unobservable as specified. The gate asked for language that regulatory filings do not contain at the assumed rate, or it applied one threshold across populations with different disclosure obligations. In every case the documents lacked the required evidence, so no parser improvement could close the gap.

That distinction is the value of the stage. A gate that fails by a few points invites researchers to widen the detector until the number clears. That response tunes a measurement to agree with a target. These protocols compute a perfect detector's limit first, so arithmetic settles the question before implementation effort begins.
