Every session gets graded the same way, whether it makes us look good or not: CONFIRMED, CONFIRMED PARTIAL, or INVALIDATED. No spin, no quiet edits after the fact.
Wednesday was a CONFIRMED PARTIAL — and it's a good example of why that grade exists.

Wednesday, August 19 — CONFIRMED PARTIAL
SPY held its $767.50 pivot wire-to-wire, never closing below it on a single 15-minute candle all session. QQQ and NVDA told the opposite story — both broke pivot at the open, reclaimed by mid-morning, held through midday, then broke again in the early afternoon and stayed broken into the close.

Two of three legs confirmed the bear case. One didn't. That split is exactly what the framework is built to flag rather than paper over — and it's part of why this morning's setup carries real uncertainty into the open: SPY, QQQ, and NVDA are all trading below their reset pivots pre-market, which is a wider ask for the bullish case than yesterday's setup was.
The full track record — every session, every grade, updated daily — is public. 35 graded sessions since July 1: 12 Confirmed, 16 Confirmed Partial, 6 Invalidated, 1 Chop. No cherry-picking the wins.
