Fillable / the delay curve / recomputed every deploy
4 of 8 still held half their edge five seconds late.
You've been told you lose because you're slow. We measured it: every trade mirrored at
1, 3 and 5 seconds behind the leader, priced at the next real fills in the same pool. What separates an edge
you can keep from one you can't isn't your execution — it's whether the edge needed speed at all.
Same market. Same three seconds. Opposite outcomes.

Both were profitable for the leader. Only one is profitable for you —
and there is no way to tell them apart without pricing the same trades at several delays.
The shelf — every wallet that came through positive
What a copier actually kept at a 3-second delay, and the shape of the curve from 1 to 5 seconds.
Sample size on every one. None of these are certified: the last shelf we published had two wallets clear the gates, and both failed forward. 0 of 2. That is why nothing here carries a verdict.

The double is the graduation spike itself, taken by whoever is
fastest. It never reaches a copier, so we don't count it as one.
