## Cycle 2 — 2026-08-28 - **Pick (Cody-seeded):** validate the buy-score on the small/mid-caps the tool actually scans (backtest was large-cap only). - **Finding:** the score is CAP-DEPENDENT — large-cap 120d corr +0.68 (works), small-cap −0.6 (INVERTS). Decision-changing. - **CLARIFY (Steve present):** chose "segment backtest by cap + warn." - **Shipped:** segmented backtest (large vs small columns), per-stock cap-tier flag (large=sweet-spot, <$20B=INVERTS, $20–40B=untested), /api/cap for manual adds. - **Gate:** panel spec 15/15, 0 console errors, tier flags verified (PLUG→INVERTS, SOFI→untested), prod green. - **Next seed:** propagate cap-tier awareness to SCAN RESULTS — flag small/mid-cap matches with ⚠ + add a "large-caps only" scan option, so users screen the validated universe.
