# Hand-written fan-out for the §7.1 backtest (build-order step 4). These are the 2nd/3rd-order # derivatives the frontier WOULD have generated from the 2023 Kirkwood conviction (K2023). Hand-writing # them for v1 removes the frontier dependency from the FIRST backtest and isolates the real question: # does the SCORING surface the derivative once it exists?
