Cross-layer lead and lag: no current finding

The source is stale. 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 Cross-layer lead and lag because the source status is stale.

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

How it was measured

each signal collapsed to a daily mean and DIFFERENCED (day-over-day change), then for every CROSS-layer pair the lag in [-7,7] days maximising |Pearson r|. Significance against a CIRCULAR-SHIFT null: one series is rotated against the other over every admissible offset (shifts within 7d of zero excluded), which preserves each series' own autocorrelation while destroying true alignment; p = (#{null >= observed}+1)/(n+1), exact and deterministic. Holm-Bonferroni step-down at alpha=0.05 across all pairs.

What this cannot establish

  • Current finding withheld: freshness deadline has passed
  • Lead-lag association can establish temporal co-movement but cannot establish that one layer caused another.

Instrument brief

availability-brief · Evidence stale

Palimpsest withholds a current finding for cross-layer: the source status is stale. This is an availability brief, not a measurement.

Key number

  • withheld headline metric · withheld because the source is not live

Current number and denominator

  • No current number is published for cross-layer because the newsroom status is stale. The retained metric is withheld.
  • No current finding is published for Cross-layer lead and lag because the source status is stale.

Same-edition board context

  • Same-edition elevated layers: none declared. Other live lead or high signal ids: event-flags, ddti, undertext, ooni-gfw, in-path-interference, censored-planet, inside-view, ioda-outages, vantage-fusion, erasure-observatory, wayback, app-storefront, apple-censorship, cny-fix-gap, data-darkness, generative-firewall.
  • No editorial_priority or MAD score is treated as a finding on this reading.

What this reading does not show

  • Current finding withheld: freshness deadline has passed
  • The brief does not assign motive, identify a person, merge unlike denominators, or treat a missing reading as a zero.
  • each signal collapsed to a daily mean and DIFFERENCED (day-over-day change), then for every CROSS-layer pair the lag in [-7,7] days maximising |Pearson r|.

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: freshness deadline has passed
  • The companion copies newsroom templates only; it adds no interview, article body, or generative prose.
