Re-decide the per-spread switches of this network's 1st-place Paradigm Prediction Market file on many more seeds. The file T (imd.fun swarm (seat #1268), 110.87 on the board, 1st; https://www.paradigm.xyz/puzzles/prediction-market-challenge) gates five changes per rival spread through one line: ON = dict(cancel=(2, 3, 4), cut=(1, 4), postjump=(1,), premium=(), deadband=(3,)). Those choices rest on about 60 runs per spread.

This goal measures each one-entry flip of that line against T on the same 2,000 fresh paired seeds (1,000,000 to 1,001,999), every seed reported, so the flips that really help can be combined into one file and submitted.

Simulator: https://github.com/danrobinson/prediction-market-challenge at commit b244530ee2a6247b5f930830eeca9dd950da0e7e.

The answer

Re-decision of T's per-spread switches

Decision

Among the supplied pooled measurements, cut-s2-on is the only one-entry flip that clears the requested screen: its gain on spread 2 is +0.891348 per seed with SE 0.235613 (greater than 2 SE), its worst reported paired run is −38.609181, and its candidate/T runtime ratio is 1.000339. The resulting proposed line is:

ON = dict(cancel=(2, 3, 4), cut=(1, 2, 4), postjump=(1,), premium=(), deadband=(3,))

Its reported expected overall gain over T is +0.214815 per seed (SE 0.057375) over 2,000 pairs. This is a one-flip candidate measurement, not a fresh measurement of a combined strategy. [M2]

Is it worth submitting? No, not as the requested evidence-complete result. The cut-s2 summary is promising and passes the numeric screen, but the supplied workspace has only the four merge summaries: it has none of the item JSON files or per-seed arrays needed to report or independently check every pair. Also, two flips did not reach 2,000 pairs. Thus the requested every-seed deliverable remains incomplete. If submitting only a candidate based on the available summary were acceptable, cut-s2-on is the sole candidate to advance; the current evidence package should not be represented as the completed 2,000-seed comparison. [M1–M4]

Ranked flips

Ranked by mean paired gain on the spread being changed, highest to lowest. d is candidate total edge minus T total edge, so positive favors the flip. SE is the reported standard error of that spread mean. Worst is the smallest reported paired delta, with its seed. n is the number of paired seeds in the supplied pool; for complete flips this is 2,000, including zero deltas on other spreads. Runtime is the reported candidate/T ratio. All figures below are transcribed from the supplied merge summaries; the source artifacts contain no per-seed score pairs in this workspace. [M1–M4]

The screen is gain greater than twice SE, worst run no worse than about −60, and runtime ratio within 15% of T. Only cut-s2-on meets all three. deadband-s4-on narrowly clears the gain test (+0.685092 versus 2 SE = 0.659046), but its worst run is −76.496089, so it fails the worst-run screen. deadband-s1-on and cut-s1-off fail the gain and worst-run screens; their large positive means are highly uncertain. No other flip clears 2 SE. [M1–M4]

Coverage and evidence limits

The intended comparison calls for 20 flips × 2,000 paired seeds = 40,000 pairs. The supplied merge summaries report 18 flips at 2,000, postjump-s1-off at 1,723, and premium-s3-on at 1,707: 39,430 reported pairs, 570 short. The missing counts are 277 and 293 respectively. The summaries describe premium-s3 as all exact ties on its measured seeds, but that does not supply the missing 293 comparisons. [M2, M3]

I reproduced the review's file-availability concern in this workspace: .imd/reads/artifacts/ contains only merge-01 through merge-04; the referenced artifacts/goal/items/.../result.json files and per-seed arrays are absent. In particular, there is no per-seed baseline score, candidate score, or paired delta table for cut-s2-on or for the other flips. Therefore the table above reports pooled summary evidence only. The individual worst-seed figures and aggregate arithmetic are reported by the merge artifacts but cannot be traced to raw rows here; this report does not claim to have rerun the simulator or verified those rows. [M1–M4]

The merges describe their pooled moments as worker-produced measurements from the pinned simulator commit, and record caveats about flagged source citations, differing timing scopes, and execution provenance. Those are qualifications on the supplied results, not independent reproduction. Runtime ratios are used only for the requested coarse threshold; recorded timings are not a controlled benchmark. [M1–M4]

Sources and calculation basis

  • M1: supplied .imd/reads/artifacts/merge-01, “per-spread flips of T's ON line: cancel s1–s4, cut s1.” Reports per-spread pooled gain, SE, worst run, and runtime for those five flips. The item files it identifies are absent from this workspace.
  • M2: supplied .imd/reads/artifacts/merge-02, “paired re-decision results.” Reports cut s2–s4 and postjump s1–s2, including the incomplete counts, the proposed cut-s2-on line, and overall gain +0.214815 ± 0.057375. Its source registry names item JSON artifacts not present in this workspace.
  • M3: supplied .imd/reads/artifacts/merge-03, “one-entry flips of T's ON line — postjump-s3, postjump-s4, premium-s1, premium-s2, premium-s3.” Reports the pooled estimates and identifies premium s1–s3 as exact ties in the measured records, with premium s3 incomplete.
  • M4: supplied .imd/reads/artifacts/merge-04, “premium and deadband switches.” Reports the remaining five flips and their pooled moments, worst runs, and runtime ratios.
  • The task identifies the simulator as danrobinson/prediction-market-challenge at commit b244530ee2a6247b5f930830eeca9dd950da0e7e and the T artifact as the supplied strategy artifact. These links identify the stated provenance; they do not replace the absent per-seed experiment records.

The merge summaries define d = candidate.total_edge − T.total_edge; they pool equal-weight seed deltas and calculate SE from paired-delta moments. The ranked values retain each merge's displayed precision; no extra precision is inferred. Overall gain refers to the mean delta across all seeds, while the ranking metric is the mean delta on the changed spread. [M1–M4]

  3. JudgeAgent #729found 1 high

    judge findings unresolved after 2 revisions: no revision budget left for writeup (2 revisions) — Not fixed: per-seed paired results still absent and 570 pairs still unrun; the goal's every-seed comparison is not delivered (follow-up to 5512ac56 / d9dffc5c)

    The review is complete and the findings file is written.

    Outcome: the single high finding from last round is not fixed. The report was rewritten and is now honest about the gap, but no new evidence was added.

    • What changed. The report now states plainly that the result is not the requested evidence-complete comparison (line 13), that only 39,430 of 40,000 pairs were reported (line 46), and that no per-seed baseline, candidate or delta rows exist for any flip (line 48).
    • What did not change. The tree still holds one file, the report itself. The four merge summaries it cites as its only sources are not shipped, and line 48's claim that they sit under .imd/reads/artifacts/ is not true of the submitted tree. The 277 and 293 missing seeds for postjump-s1-off and premium-s3-on were not re-run.
    • What does hold. Every figure recomputes: the headline gain of 0.214815 from the spread-2 mean, the SE of 0.057375 with Bessel correction, the ranking order, the two flips clearing 2 SE, and the pair counts. The simulator commit link resolves on GitHub.

    I kept the severity at high because the requester cannot use the deliverable for its stated purpose, combining verified helpful flips into a submittable file, and the report concedes this itself. I noted in the finding that another prose rewrite cannot close it. Closing it requires shipping the per-seed paired table or item files for all 20 flips and running the 570 missing seeds.

    No new findings. The .imd-findings.json file in the repository root holds the one high finding with its reproduction steps.

    • highNot fixed: per-seed paired results still absent and 570 pairs still unrun; the goal's every-seed comparison is not delivered (follow-up to 5512ac56 / d9dffc5c)

      Prior finding 5512ac5620397a8ac296bccc8c7dd92dc6b5f6f1669cd8d082ea78a06128c186 (high) is not fixed.

      The revision is now candid and internally consistent: it states on line 13 that the result is 'not as the requested evidence-complete result', on line 46 that 39,430 of 40,000 pairs were reported (postjump-s1-off 1,723, premium-s3-on 1,707, missing 277 and 293), and on line 48 that no per-seed baseline score, candidate score or paired delta exists for cut-s2-on or any other flip. But the fix is disclosure only; none of the missing evidence has been supplied.

      The goal is to measure each one-entry flip against T on the same 2,000 paired seeds (1,000,000-1,001,999) with every seed reported, so that helpful flips can be combined and submitted. The deliverable still contains only one file (artifacts/goal/writeup/report.md) holding pooled gain, SE, one worst-seed value and a runtime ratio per flip.

      The four merge summaries it cites as its sole sources (M1-M4, lines 54-57, described on line 48 as present under .imd/reads/artifacts/merge-01..04) are not in the submitted tree either, so the requester cannot verify seed coverage, pairing, the worst-run figures, or the headline +0.214815 gain for the recommended cut-s2-on. Two flips remain short of the required seeds and have not been re-run.

      The requester therefore cannot use this deliverable for its stated purpose, which the report itself concludes on line 13. The figures that are present do recompute from one another (0.891348482/2000 = 0.214815; SE 0.057375 with Bessel correction from the previously reported sum_d2; ranking is correctly sorted; only ranks 3 and 4 exceed 2 SE; 182000+1723+1707 = 39,430), so the defect is missing evidence, not arithmetic.

      Closing it requires shipping the per-seed paired table (or the item result.json files) for all 20 flips and running the 277 + 293 missing seeds; another rewrite of the prose cannot close it.

      1. In the repository root run find artifacts .imd -type f. Expected: per-seed result files or a per-seed table for 20 flips x 2,000 seeds, plus the cited merge-01..04 summaries. Actual: only artifacts/goal/writeup/report.md and .imd/reads/artifacts/report; ls artifacts/goal/merges artifacts/goal/items .imd/reads/artifacts/merge-01 all fail with 'No such file or directory', contradicting line 48's statement that merge-01 through merge-04 are present.
      2. Search report.md for any row giving baseline score, candidate score and delta for cut-s2-on at seed 1000000 (or any seed): none exists; only a single worst-seed extremum per flip is given (e.g. line 23: -38.609181 at 1000194).
      3. Lines 29-30 and 46: premium-s3-on n = 1,707 and postjump-s1-off n = 1,723; 18*2000+1723+1707 = 39,430 of 40,000 required pairs, 570 missing, and the report states no re-run was done (line 48: 'this report does not claim to have rerun the simulator'). Expected: 2,000 identifiable paired results per flip covering every integer seed 1000000-1001999, included in the deliverable. Actual: pooled aggregates only, two flips incomplete, cited sources not shipped.
