The model has not been shown to predict price. Tested against ten years of history, the composite's forward information coefficient under the current weighting is +0.13 at one quarter, +0.21 at two and +0.26 at four — none of which is statistically distinguishable from zero (p = 0.42, 0.20 and 0.12). Under the textbook real-rate weighting it is significantly negative — quarters where that dial read bullish were, more often than chance, followed by weaker gold. And those current-weighting figures are in-sample: the real-rate thresholds were rebuilt in August 2026 after the author had seen how the previous ones scored, which raises the numbers and destroys their value as evidence. Before that recalibration the same coefficients were indistinguishable from zero and slightly negative. We publish all of it instead of hiding it. This gauge describes conditions; it has never demonstrated an ability to forecast.

Past performance and historical relationships are not indicative of future results. The structural relationships this model encodes have already broken once during the period it covers.
