# Audit v3birthd / v3birthe (auditor3, 18 Oct)
Verdict: **KILL both** (own kill rule: mean <1.0 and upper80 <1.05 at fwd n>=20).
- D fwd n20 mean 0.548x, median 0.56, up80 0.60, 0 zeros, all exits trail. Replay D n78 0.685x (up80 0.74), E n79 0.692x (up80 0.75). Replay and forward agree: negative edge.
- E fwd rows are byte-identical to D fwd rows (same pools, same net_x md5): E adds no independent evidence, so the arms are one test, not two.
- Only C (n17 replay, 1.48x, median 0.59, 2 wins) is positive; it is replay-only, 17 trades, mean from 2 wins, no forward. Not auditable as a pass; a fresh idea at most.
- Sellability: moot (kill). No sell sim run.
- ex-top3 fwd 0.50x: no hidden runner tail either.
