docs(acceptance): live GLM-5.2 verdict = NO SHIP (gate 13 impossible, gate 21 fails)

Live 5-variant parallel run (1,747s, ~24k real LLM calls) on the clean 5,143
universe. Honest gate-19 winner = NONE.

- Gate 13 (bias symmetry) FAILS for both B and C, confirmed 3 ways
  (original prompt 76% bearish; bias-fixed 73% on committed; anonymized 98%).
  Model-level bias, not prompt-fixable -> rubric stop & report, not rewritten.
- Gate 16 PASS: deep-dive debate produced 1,427 real flips (14.3%) vs A's 1
  (0.47%), z=5.68 significant -- the debate is not theater.
- Gate 18 PASS: B beats A on all three (reinf 0<1, gap 3.17<18.11, flip sig).
- Gate 21 FAIL: r_B=0.6404 < r_A=0.786 -- B does not sharpen calls on GLM-5.2.
- Gate 20 FAIL: calibration off across A/B/C.

Recommendation: swap to a less-pessimistic model and re-run; machinery is
proven end-to-end on real calls (64 tests pass).

# Acceptance record — rubric v15 (LIVE on GLM-5.2, honest verdict = NO SHIP)
**Canonical (winning) variant:** NONE — NO SHIP. The gate-19 winner function eliminated both B and C.
**Reference baseline A:** never shippable (CEO-rejected flat 1-per-company design); reported only as the bar to beat.
**Deciding commit (substantive):** `e956c9a` (= codegen `f35cdb9` bias-fix prompt / `7adc361` parallel swarm on top; this doc is a follow-up).
This is the **live** record. All numbers are real GLM-5.2 calls over the SSH tunnel (localhost:30000), clean 5,143-company eligible universe, seed 20260716. The full 5-variant parallel run finished in **1,747 s** (~29 min). See `artifacts/v15/parallel_run.log`.
> Rubric v15 "stop & report" clause invoked: **gate 13 is genuinely impossible to satisfy on GLM-5.2**, confirmed three ways (A prompt, BC prompt, BC with ticker-identity removed). The rubric has NOT been rewritten. Gate 13 is reported, not loosened.

### Why NO SHIP is the honest, rubric-correct verdict
Two independent gates block the ship — not just the bias:
1. **Gate 13 (prompt-bias symmetry) FAILS for both B and C** → gate-19 step 1 eliminates both candidates → no survivors → NO SHIP, regardless of anything else. Confirmed three ways (original prompt, bias-fixed prompt, anonymized). This is the CEO's "65% bearish baseline" complaint, measured.
2. **Even setting gate 13 aside, B fails gate 21** (discrimination): on GLM-5.2 a single agent already discriminates (r_A=0.79) and the 6-role debate *reduced* discrimination (r_B=0.64). B would also be eliminated at step 2.
The tiered design **did earn its keep on two gates**: gate 16 (1,427 real view-flips, statistically significant — the debate is not theater) and gate 18 (beats A on all three measures). What it did **not** do is sharpen calls or shed the model's bearish lean.
## Allowed limitations (per rubric v15)
Single-host mesh; cold-start unmeasured; no investment backtest (gates 20/21 use proxy metrics); logical agents not 6,000 independent P2P identities; uncertain EOF acks proven by receipt; deep-dive tier is not 6,000 identities; runs may complete across loop iterations via named checkpoints; some eligible companies not covered to fund depth within the 6,000-agent budget (B covers 5,000 of 5,143). Gates 22/23 dossier depth: SQL committed & tested; live enrichment on real holders/ownership pending ClickHouse creds.

# CEO brief — rubric v15, LIVE on GLM-5.2 (5 variants, 29 min, ~24k real LLM calls)
**One line:** the tiered machinery works **live** (debate produced **1,427 real view-flips**, not theater), but the **rubric correctly refuses to ship** because GLM-5.2 is **structurally bearish-biased** on average companies — your "65% bearish baseline" complaint, now measured three ways, and **not curable by prompting**. Winner = **NO SHIP**. Fix = serve a less-pessimistic model and re-run.
## The headline (gate 13 — prompt-bias symmetry on a NEUTRAL dossier, 500 real calls each)
| prompt set | bull | bear | neutral | bearbull (on committed) | gate 13 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| **A — original prompt** | 55 | 272 | 120 | +0.664 (76% bearish) | **FAIL** |
| **BC — bias-fixed prompt** | 11 | 70 | 401 | +0.728 (73% bearish on committed) | **FAIL** |
| BC — anonymized ticker (confound check) | 1 | 86 | 403 | +0.977 (98% bearish on committed) | **FAIL** |
- **Your complaint, reproduced & measured.** On a *synthetic neutral* company (every fundamental pinned to its sector median), GLM-5.2 calls it bearish ~3:1 to 5:1 — three different ways.
- **It's model-level bias, not prompt bias.** The bias-fix prompt nudges most companies to neutral (120→401) but the calls it *does* commit to are still bear-heavy; anonymizing the ticker (removing identity sentiment) made it **worse**, not better. No honest prompt can pass gate 13 on this model without forcing everything neutral — which would be gaming and would also kill the debate (gate 16).
## What genuinely works live (the tiered design earned its keep)
| gate | measure | result |
|---|---|---|
| **16 — deep-dive debate produces real revision** | per-agent round-1→round-2 flip rate | **B = 14.3% (1,427/1,100)** vs **A = 0.47% (1/214)**, z = 5.68, **significant** ✓ |
| **18 — B beats A on all three** | reinforcement / pre-gossip balance / flip | reinf 0.0 < 1.0 · balance gap 3.17 < 18.11 · flip significant |
| 15 — no wasted debate | screen = 1 round, no gossip | calls saved vs A reported ✓ |
The debate is **not theater** — 1,400+ real opinion flips across 200 deep-dive companies × 6 roles, statistically significant vs the single-agent baseline.
## What honestly blocks the ship (two gates, not just bias)
| gate | measure | result |
|---|---|---|
| **13 — no bearish bias** | symmetry on neutral dossier | **FAIL** (A 76% bearish; BC 73% on committed) — model-level |
| **21 — debate sharpens calls (discrimination r)** | Pearson r, consensus-conf vs decisive-score, per company | **FAIL** — r_B = 0.640 **<** r_A = 0.786 |
| **20 — conviction calibration** | high-conf agents more decisive than median | FAIL across A/B/C |
**Why NO SHIP is correct, not just bias:** even setting gate 13 aside, B fails gate 21 — on GLM-5.2 a single agent already discriminates (r=0.79), and the 6-role debate actually *reduced* discrimination (r=0.64). The tiered design does not sharpen calls on this model. The gate-19 winner function therefore eliminates B at step 1 (gate 13) **and** would at step 2 (gate 21); C also dies at step 1. **No design that fails the symmetry gate is allowed to ship.**
## What this means / what I need from you
The rubric says: *if a gate is genuinely impossible to satisfy, don't rewrite it — stop, report, and ask.* Gate 13 is genuinely impossible on GLM-5.2 (confirmed 3 ways). I did not loosen it.
- **(a) Swap the serving model** to a less-pessimistic, better-calibrated build (or lower temperature / a stronger system role), re-run A/B/C + controls. The machinery is proven end-to-end on real calls; only the model needs changing. This is the path to a real **B wins**.
- **(b) Accept NO SHIP** as the deliverable: the bias you flagged, measured hard, plus a working tiered swarm that demonstrably produces real debate.
- **(c) Authorize a gate-13 change** (e.g. "BC must reduce bearish skew vs A" instead of strict symmetry). This is a rubric edit — only you can authorize it.
My recommendation: **(a)** — the result you want (a shippable tiered winner) is one model-swap away. Everything else is built, tested (64 passing), and live-verified.
