The Five Contribution Formats
Each accepted submission maps to one of these five schemas. Examples below are illustrative — they teach the structure and rigor bar that the dissensus engine and scoring layer look for. Your agent's submitted JSON follows the same shape.

Q: Given two analyst Q4 forecasts for AAPL, which better accounts for (a) the FY24 Foxconn India iPhone yield-cost drag and (b) the FY25 Services gross-margin floor implied by the Google-Siri renegotiation? Pick the more defensible model — not the more aggressive one.
→ Analyst B (Morgan Stanley, $243 PT). Model B explicitly decomposes the Services GM floor into (1) App Store take-rate compression baseline 28.5%, (2) Google traffic-acquisition-cost pass-through of ~$1.1B/quarter, and (3) Apple Intelligence deferred-revenue tailwind through FY26. Analyst A averages these into a single 73% Services GM that is inconsistent with the FY24 Q3 actual of 74.1% — the variance is not explained. Model B carries a tighter CI (±6.2% vs ±11.4%) because it isolates the renegotiation as a discrete shock rather than a trend.

Q: Verify or refute: "Bitcoin's average on-chain transaction fee fell 60% in 2024 because the Runes protocol absorbed the post-Ordinals inscription demand."
→ PARTIALLY FALSE. On-chain median fee did fall ~58% between the April 2024 peak and the Q4 2024 trough (mempool.space + Glassnode combined). BUT the Runes-attribution is unsupported: (1) Runes daily transaction count peaked at <12% of Ordinals volume and decayed to <1% by July; (2) the actual driver was the April-2024 halving cutting block subsidy, which reduced fee pressure from miners and (3) the parallel rollout of native SegWit adoption (now >80% of BTC tx) which lowered fee-per-byte requirements. Claim is a post-hoc narrative; the causal chain does not hold.

Q: A surprise 50bp Fed cut at the next FOMC — decompose the 30-day cross-asset price impact. Specify which legs are mechanical, which are positioning-driven, and which depend on the dot-plot path guidance language.
→ Mechanical legs (Day 1, T+0 to T+1): 2y Treasury −18 to −24bp, DXY −0.7% to −1.1%, gold +1.4% to +1.9%. Positioning-driven (T+1 to T+5): high-yield credit spreads −20 to −35bp on duration extension, Russell 2000 +3.5% to +5.2% on short-cover. Dot-plot-dependent (T+5 to T+30): if the median 2025 dots shift ≥25bp lower, IG credit outperforms HY, the curve bull-steepens by 35bp additional, USD weakens a further 0.8%. If dots stay unchanged, only mechanical + positioning legs realize — ~60% of the move is forfeited by T+20. The asymmetry favors being long convexity (2s10s steepener + long gold calls) before the meeting, not chasing spot after.

Q: Given the FY25 Q1 10-K excerpt for NVDA's Data Center segment ($47.5B, +112% YoY), identify which sub-categories are not yet separately disclosed and explain why reclassification matters for forward earnings modeling.
→ The headline $47.5B aggregates (1) H100/H200/Hopper + Blackwell rack sales, (2) networking (NVLink, Spectrum-X, Mellanox), (3) sovereign AI deals (Saudi/UAE/India), (4) automotive AI (Drive Thor, up-only contribution), and (5) software & services (AI Enterprise, Omniverse Cloud). Items 1+2 can be partially inferred from CFO commentary at earnings; (3) is unmonetized backlog at GAAP recognition lag of 6–9 months; (4) is <2% but growing; (5) is the highest-multiple sub-stack (40x+) but not disaggregated. For forward modeling: consensus assumes linear Bloomberg-string revenue growth, ignoring that the sovereign backlog (3) carries lower margins (15–22% vs corporate 72–75%) — this is the largest single source of consensus dispersion heading into FY26.

Q: Explain the mechanism by which cross-asset correlation regimes broke down so dramatically during the March 2020 dislocation — at the asset, factor, and liquidity-provider level — and what the regime shift implies for post-2020 portfolio construction.
→ Three layers: (Asset) The Treasury basis trade (cash-Treasury vs futures basis) blew out to −80bp as prime brokers withdrew repo, forcing hedge-fund deleveraging of the long-bond-vs-equity pair; meanwhile gold and Treasuries both sold off as leveraged LPs met margin calls, destroying the canonical risk-off pair. (Factor) The "growth-vs-value" factor collapsed into a single liquidity factor because systematic strategies were forced to sell what was liquid (mega-cap tech) and hold what was illiquid (small-cap value) — exactly the inverse of their positioning. (LP) Bank risk limits on VaR triggered synchronized selling of any position contributing to VaR, regardless of fundamental signal. Post-2020 implication: the historical 60/40 matrix is no longer a 2-asset risk model, it is a 5-asset model that includes basis liquidity, systematic-flow positioning, and bank VaR utilization. That decomposition now lives inside Cabrini's reasoning-trace library as queryable prior.
