Optional data and input contracts
The default route is offline. French raw, extracted and processed data are not bundled. G01’s actual legal entity, purpose and rights remain unknown; G05 has not authorized A10-B. A10-A has limited design acceptance and A10-A.1 technical protocol acceptance, neither market-execution permission. Public availability does not establish research-use or redistribution rights. Do not download market data to run these Notebooks or label constructed replacements as missing historical market inputs.
Historical helpers expect these paths, which are not data distributed by A:
data/processed/french_10_industries_monthly.csv
data/manifests/french_industries_2026-10-05.json
data/manifests/french_factors_2026-10-05.json
The historical processed-industry snapshot SHA-256 is 3b097d810c295d64eedfa1ece7067ff2a0707f5ca90e33935df9949251f70950. Columns are month, NoDur, Durbl, Manuf, Enrgy, HiTec, Telcm, Shops, Hlth, Utils and Other; returns are decimals. This identity binds that snapshot only: arbitrary replacement data cannot reproduce its historical numbers.
After separate rights and execution approval, provide inputs in your own working copy through table/array interfaces, checking schema, currency, units, continuous months, hashes and provenance. Record changes to snapshot-specific assertions. Month labels do not establish release, ingestion or fill times. Both languages share one data contract and do not need separate downloads.
Historical acceptance of Projects 1–3 binds its original version and scope, not stock-level PIT or tradability. Projects 4–6 retain their recorded market-research blocks and evidence gaps; constructed method checks cannot close them. Chapter 39’s historical row predictions and common-date paired evidence remain missing, without fabrication or retraining. Fixed summaries and figures replay their original records rather than new verification. Retain all negative and zero results; unknown or blocked does not mean a zero effect.
The Capstone supplies accepted research questions, timing contracts, protocol, dictionary and 18 report guides, plus fixed two-asset offline engineering. Its French monthly configuration is parameter teaching only; the market adapter is unimplemented and target market research/results have not been produced. Engineering PASS does not answer the target net-mean hypothesis. Exposed history cannot become a blind holdout again; historical availability, ingestion and revision clocks remain unknown.
