Published Grade summary
Public records track 19 Programs over 6 years, of which 2 are lifecycle-eligible; both are logged as property sold with the result unknown. The outcome-disclosure ledger publishes figures for both, with none silent and none acknowledged without a figure. The other tracked Programs have not yet reached a stage where an outcome can be assessed. No material adverse events or recorded floor appear, an absence of records rather than evidence about how deals ended. Sourcing includes 15 citations at proof depth 3.

- Ceilings
- The result cannot exceed H + 10 or L + 15, so stronger sales evidence cannot wash out a weaker harm or lifecycle record.
- Evidence gates
- A and B require minimum proof depth, lifecycle history, and channel evidence. A also requires qualifying disclosure coverage.
- Adverse floors
- An Integrity alert sets an F floor. A dominant documented capital loss or multiple independent severe events sets D or lower.
