Believability read: no current finding

The source is degraded. Palimpsest keeps the availability and evidence record visible without publishing retained values as current news.

What the record says

Availability. No current finding is published for Believability read because the source status is degraded.

This report is scoped to believability. It does not merge unlike instruments or infer a cause from co-movement.

How it was measured

the Li Keqiang composite (40% loan growth, 40% electricity, 20% rail freight, using the canonical weights) against the state's own headline industrial-production YoY for the same month. The statistic is DRIFT: this month's headline-minus-composite gap against the gap's own rolling median and MAD band, so a services-heavy economy's persistent gap reads as baseline and only a break in the established relationship registers. Electricity is PRODUCTION (the keyless state series), not the original's consumption; this is a stated substitution. A missing component abstains the composite rather than reweighting it; fewer than 8 months of history publishes the gap but claims no drift (warming_up). Full method, origin, critiques and counterpoint: docs/BELIEVABILITY.md. A reading outside the band is evidence the relationship moved; it does not, by itself, establish fabrication

What this cannot establish

  • Current finding withheld: upstream status is abstain
  • A divergence outside the historical band shows a relationship moved; it does not by itself establish fabrication.

What this reading does not show

  • Current finding withheld: upstream status is abstain
  • The brief does not assign motive, identify a person, merge unlike denominators, or treat a missing reading as a zero.

Counterreadings

  • A current or withheld instrument value is not independent corroboration of any publisher article, and it is not a cause.
  • Co-movement with another live signal on this edition is layer context, not a shared rate or a coordinated action.

Limitations

  • Current finding withheld: upstream status is abstain
  • The companion copies newsroom templates only; it adds no interview, article body, or generative prose.
