CRED iQ (Grade B, May 15, 2026) reports bank multifamily 90+ day past-due/nonaccrual at 1.04% in Q4 2025, up from 0.15% in Q3 2022, on a $659.5B outstanding portfolio. CRED iQ (Grade B, April 3, 2026) reports the CMBS overall distress rate reached 12.07% in March 2026 -- a cycle high per CRED iQ tracking -- with forward indicators suggesting approach to 13% by mid-2026 absent improved financing conditions. Progress in Lending (Grade C, reproducing MBA CREF Q1 2026) puts overall commercial mortgage delinquency at 4.02%, up from 3.86% in Q4 2025; CMBS distress (CRED iQ inclusive) and MBA overall delinquency are distinct series. Layer A scenario-output framing per paper section 7.4; not a probability claim. Falsification: MBA overall delinquency at 4.02% remains below the 5% raise threshold; CMBS distress at 12.07% remains below the 15% raise threshold; FAU screener count not yet crossing the 60-bank raise threshold; no Top-30 REIT or bank failure event; slow-amplifier framing per paper section 4.5 applies -- evidence_added, no current_state shift.

Shiller CAPE at 41.66 as of May 15, 2026 (multpl.com mirror of Shiller data, Grade A), up from 41.04 on May 1, 2026, after a transient dip to 37.66 in March and 38.93 in April; the long-run series mean is 17.38 and the all-time maximum is 44.19 (December 1999). 1999-2000 is the only completed historical episode at this CAPE level (n=1 historical analog; the single-episode frequency is descriptive evidence, not an independent-event probability). GMO Q1 2026 7-year forecast (Grade B, scenario-output per section 7.4) projects US large-cap real returns at -5.4% per year; Damodaran implied ERP as of January 1, 2026 stands at 4.23%, near the long-run historical average, indicating ERP compression does not independently confirm systemic stress at current CAPE levels (section 7.4 scenario output). Falsification per section 13: CAPE not yet sustained above the upper falsification threshold for 6 months; broader-market P/E expansion remains AI-sector concentrated; ERP within historical bounds per Damodaran. current_state maintained at 0.99; no threshold-crossing event in this proposal; evidence_added with no state change.

CoinDesk (Grade B, 2026-05-07) reports Anchorage Digital claims 'every single large stablecoin issuance mandate since the Genius Act passed' with 'as many as 20 financial institutions and large tech companies' in a queue to issue stablecoins -- GENIUS Act adoption by major institutions consistent with a stable-regime environment; no issuance pause, no regulatory freeze, no reserve stress signal. CoinDesk (Grade B, 2026-05-13) reports stablecoin flows in Asia reached $12.5 trillion in 2025 (67% YoY growth) and $5.6 trillion in Latin America -- volume growth with no peg-break events or TradFi transmission signals observed. Circle official transparency page (Grade A, as of 2026-05-14) confirms USDC 'backed 100% by highly liquid cash and cash-equivalent assets and is always redeemable 1:1 for US dollars.' No sustained (>72h) >5% peg break observed for any top-3 stablecoin in the observation window; threshold 'USDT < $0.97 for > 1 hour' not crossed; no measurable Treasury-bill price impact or money-market fund flow disruption from any de-peg event. Layer A scenario-output framing; not a probability claim. Falsification section 13: no sustained (>72h) >5% peg break, no TradFi contagion from de-peg, reserve backing at or above 100% confirmed (Circle), no OCC/Treasury intervention triggered -- none of the load-bearing falsification conditions crossed. Evidence accumulation reinforcing existing prior 0.05; status 'quiet' affirmed; no state change.

Federal Reserve H.4.1 (May 14, 2026, Grade A) shows repurchase agreements at $4 million (as of May 13, 2026) against $326.3 billion in reverse repos, confirming SRF utilization is near zero and repo market liquidity remains ample. SOFR at 3.56% (May 14, 2026) against IORB at 3.65% (April 29, 2026) implies a spread well below the section 5.3 activation threshold of SOFR-IORB exceeding +25 basis points. MOVE index at 79.87 as of mid-May 2026 (Grade C anchor, Investing.com) remains well below the section 13 falsification threshold of 130+ for five or more consecutive sessions. OFR Brief 26-01 (March 3, 2026, Grade A) continues to document approximately 75% of hedge fund Treasury repo activity as non-centrally cleared, with dealer balance-sheet incentives cited as the primary barrier -- structural fragility persists as the SEC clearing mandate compliance deadline approaches. Layer A scenario output per section 7.4 -- no directional trigger criteria from section 13 are crossed. Falsification: MOVE >130 for >=5 sessions, SRF utilization spike, or CCP clearing-rule delay -- none observed as of mid-May 2026.

CB Financial Services (CBFV) Item 1.05 filing (Grade A, filed May 11, 2026, event date May 7) is the first SIC 6000-series cybersecurity disclosure in this window with an AI incident vector: an employee used an unauthorized AI-based software application to handle nonpublic customer PII, exposing names, Social Security numbers, and dates of birth. The filing explicitly states no material financial impact is expected and no dollar loss is disclosed; the incident does not meet the operator-set threshold (systemic AI service outage) or the paper threshold (disclosed loss above the materiality threshold, or cross-firm transmission to multiple institutions). The IMF blog (Grade A, May 7, 2026; Adrian, Gaidosch, Ravikumar) reinforces systemic-risk framing: extreme cyber-incident losses could trigger funding strains, raise solvency concerns, and disrupt broader markets. Layer A scenario output, not a probability claim. Falsification per section 13: threshold requires a confirmed systemic AI service outage, a SIC 6000-series Item 1.05 with disclosed loss exceeding the materiality threshold, or cross-firm transmission to multiple institutions; none are crossed. Bull-case qualifier: the CBFV incident is insider misuse below financial materiality with no cross-firm transmission; evidence accumulation only, no prior or status change warranted.

IEA Oil Market Report May 2026 (Grade A, iea.org, published 2026-05-13) reports cumulative Gulf supply losses exceeding 1 billion barrels with more than 14 mb/d of oil now shut in -- characterized by IEA as an unprecedented supply shock, with further price volatility expected given record inventory drawdowns ahead of peak summer demand. Layer A scenario output; this confirms the disruption scale corroborates the existing active status and 0.42 prior with no directional change proposed. Early-stage diplomatic signals (Trump-Xi Hormuz discussion, isolated Chinese tanker transits per May 14 reporting) are noted as context but represent marginal incremental developments that do not approach any threshold for a status or prior reassessment. Falsification check (section 13): sustained Hormuz traffic restoration above 70% -- NOT MET; Brent below $75 for more than 3 months -- NOT MET; ceasefire holding more than 6 months -- NOT MET. Bull-case check section 13.6(c): Hormuz partial reopening AND sustained Brent below $85 -- NOT MET; section 13.6(e): financial stress indicators (HY CDX / MOVE / VIX / JPY basis) normalizing -- NOT MET. This is evidence accumulation reinforcing the existing active status; no prior change is proposed. (Note: section 13.6(c) uses the $85 Brent threshold for bull-case; section 13 downgrade criterion requires the tighter $75 / 3-month sustained test.)

Apollo Debt Solutions BDC received Q1 2026 redemption requests equal to 11.2% of shares outstanding and honored only approximately 45% (~$730M) under its 5% quarterly cap -- a confirmed section 5.6 gating event for a BDC above the $5B AUM threshold (Apollo Form 8-K March 23, Grade A). Blackstone BCRED ($82B AUM) received roughly 7.9% gross redemption requests (~$3.7B) and raised its repurchase cap above the standard 5% via roughly $400M of additional capital from Blackstone and its employees, meeting the trigger's internal-capital-injection criterion (GlobeSt March 10, Grade B). Moody's Ratings revised its BDC sector outlook from Stable to Negative on April 7, citing rising redemption pressures, higher leverage and weakening access to funding markets, with the BDC sector recording its first-ever net outflow in early 2026 (Reuters and Alternative Credit Investor, April 7, Grade B). FSB May 6 report (Grade A) finds the private-credit sector at an estimated $1.5 to $2.0 trillion in assets as of end-2024 and warns that the sector's complexity, leverage, and interconnected nature could amplify stress during adverse economic scenarios. Layer A scenario output; section 5.6 gating criteria confirmed met across multiple BDCs above the $5B threshold in Q1 2026 -- status transition from watching to active is warranted per section 5.6 threshold definition. Falsification per section 13: BDC >=5B paying less than 100% of redemptions confirmed (Apollo 8-K Grade A; Ares ASIF $10.5B AUM at 43.1% honored per Alternative Credit Investor Grade B); Moody's sector outlook confirmed Negative April 7; non-accrual rates at major BDCs have not crossed the 4% at-cost falsification threshold as of Q1 2026 reporting.

Apollo Academy / Slok (March 24, 2026, Grade B) states the total amount of investment grade supply coming to the market this year is around $14 trillion -- comprising Ten trillion dollars in Treasury refinancing and $2 trillion in corporate issuance including hyperscaler borrowing (new_upload_0). Reuters (March 17, 2026, Grade A) reports Amazon raised about $37 billion across 11 tranches on March 10 and BofA raised the 2026 hyperscaler forecast to $175 billion from $140 billion (new_upload_1); SIFMA Q1 2026 Research Quarterly (April 15, 2026, Grade A per named sources) shows Q1 corporate issuance at $775.2B, the largest quarterly total since 2Q20 (new_upload_4); no single tranche exceeded $30 billion, so the section 13 hyperscaler single-tranche falsification criterion is not crossed. US Treasury Q2 2026 Quarterly Refunding Statement (May 7, 2026, Grade A) states Treasury believes its current auction sizes leave it well positioned -- no sovereign issuance escalation signaled (new_upload_2). MOVE index at 70.24 as of May 13, 2026 (Grade C anchor, Yahoo Finance, new_upload_3) -- well below the 130 stress threshold in section 13. Layer A scenario output, not a probability claim. Falsification check (section 13): total 2026 IG supply tracking to $14 trillion, below the $15 trillion threshold; MOVE below 130; no single-tranche hyperscaler issuance above $30 billion; SOMA holdings stable after QT cessation; evidence reinforces existing current_state of 0.55 with no shift warranted.

BofA Global Fund Manager Survey (April 2026, Grade B; field dates April 3-9, 193 panelists, $563bn AUM) shows long Magnificent-7 absent from the top crowded trades list in April -- most crowded were long oil (24%), long global semiconductors (24%), and long gold (15%); cash at 4.3%, highest since May 2025. Mechanical-vs-flow divergence persists: structural Mag-7 weight above 35% sustains asymmetric drawdown exposure, but positioning de-crowding has continued through April 2026 (long Mag-7 fell from 54% of crowded-trade respondents in December 2025 to 9% in March 2026 and was absent from the top list in April 2026); amplification is conditional, not automatic. Layer A scenario output, not a probability claim; falsification check (section 13): Mag-7 weight above 35% threshold confirmed; vol-targeted fund AUM drawdown event not confirmed in evidence window; cross-sectional ETF redemption exceeding $50B per week not confirmed. Current state of 0.99 already reflects extreme mechanical concentration; delta to 1.0 is 0.01, below the 0.05 material-shift threshold; section 13.6 bull-case conditions for a state decrease not met; evidence_added with no state change.

BOJ Summary of Opinions from the April 27-28 meeting (released May 12, 2026, Grade A -- Bank of Japan) shows board members signaling June hike: 'It is quite possible the BOJ will raise interest rates from the next meeting onward, even if the future course of the Middle East conflict remains unclear' and 'the BOJ should raise rates soon barring evident signs of an economic slowdown' -- quotes verbatim per new_upload_0. BOJ board member Masu (May 14, 2026, Grade B -- Nippon.com, Kagoshima speech) stated 'I believe it is desirable to raise the policy rate at the earliest stage possible' (new_upload_1) -- a fourth board member publicly aligning with hike urgency beyond the three April 28 dissenters (Takata, Tamura, Nakagawa), broadening the hawkish bloc further from any pause or slowed normalization signal. USD/JPY at 158.5880 on May 15, 2026 (Grade C anchor -- TradingEconomics, uuid 12ec2f0a), far above the 140 trigger threshold (JPY < 140 in < 5 sessions); Nikkei 225 fell 1.99% to 61,409 on May 15 (Grade C -- TradingEconomics, new_upload_2), well below the 5% single-day carry-catalyst threshold in section 13.1. Section 13.6 bull-case condition (d) -- BOJ communicates pause or slowed normalization -- is not met; normalization is accelerating. Layer A scenario output, not a probability claim. No section 13.1 falsification criteria crossed; prior unchanged at 0.18; evidence accumulation, no state change warranted.

OFR Brief (Grade A, March 3, 2026) confirms ~75% of hedge fund Treasury repo activity remains non-centrally cleared, with dealer balance-sheet incentives -- not operational readiness -- sustaining the structural gap ahead of the December 2026 SEC mandate. FSB report (Grade A, February 4, 2026) documents ~70% of the non-cleared segment operating at zero haircuts with high collateral rehypothecation, establishing documented systemic fragility if a vol spike materializes. MOVE index at 70.24 as of May 13, 2026 (Grade C, Yahoo Finance aggregator) remains well below the section 13 falsification threshold of 130+ for 5 or more consecutive sessions; no Fed SRF utilization spike is observed and no CCP clearing-rule deadline extension has been announced. Layer A scenario output -- structural vulnerability is documented and grows as clearing-mandate compliance approaches, but no directional trigger criteria from section 13 are crossed. Falsification: section 13 criteria -- MOVE >130 for >=5 sessions or SRF utilization spike -- remain uncrossed as of mid-May 2026. Evidence accumulation only; no prior or status change warranted.

Taiwan MND did not declare a rehearsal-of-assault; labeled activity 'harassment under pretext of patrol.' Section 13.1 falsification criteria for a raise not met: ODNI March 18 assessment unchanged ('no fixed invasion timeline'), PLA exercise scale threshold not crossed (no >2 carrier groups, no >100k troop equivalent), no Taiwan MND rehearsal-of-assault declaration. Taiwan MND May 2 (Grade A): elevated sortie day -- 29 sorties, 15 median line crossings -- within gray-zone escalation pattern, no designation issued. Taiwan MND May 13 (Grade A): routine 2-sortie surveillance day coinciding with Trump-Xi summit opening; no escalation designation. Xi Trump-Xi summit warning (Focus Taiwan, Grade B, May 14): experts assessed language as 'stronger' with military undertone; Taiwan Mainland Affairs Council detected no unexpected information -- gray-zone diplomatic coercion only, not a kinetic cross-strait incident per threshold definition. Polymarket 'military clash before 2027' at 9% as of May 16 (Grade C anchor). Layer A scenario output per section 7.4 factor-copula; not a probability claim; section 7.7 layer independence preserved.

IMF blog (May 7, 2026; Grade A; Layer A scenario output, not a probability claim; bucketed under 'bis' FK as 'imf' source_id not yet in DB registry) by Adrian, Gaidosch, and Ravikumar explicitly frames AI-enabled cyber as a financial-stability vector, citing: 'Extreme cyber-incident losses could trigger funding strains, raise solvency concerns, and disrupt broader markets.' CrowdStrike 2026 Global Threat Report (Feb 24, 2026; Grade B) records an 89% year-over-year increase in attacks by AI-enabled adversaries with breakout times falling to 29 minutes, a 65% acceleration from 2024. Mandiant M-Trends 2026 (March 23, 2026; Grade B) provides a bull-case qualifier, explicitly stating the firm does not consider 2025 to be the year where breaches were the direct result of AI. No evidence of a systemic AI service outage (the operator-set threshold per GET /api/v1/triggers/ai_cyber) or a SIC-6000 Item 1.05 filing attributing a material loss to an AI-enabled vector was located in the 90-day window; no CISA or joint advisory naming a cross-firm AI-enabled vector was identified within window. Falsification per section 13: a confirmed systemic AI service outage with cross-firm transmission, or a SIC-6000 Item 1.05 with disclosed loss above the 0.5% market-cap threshold, would be required to change the prior above 0.10 or elevate status from quiet. Evidence accumulation reinforces the existing 0.10 base prior; no prior change or status change warranted.

MBA CREF Q1 2026 Loan Performance Survey (Grade A): overall commercial mortgage delinquency 4.02 percent, up from 3.86 percent in Q4 2025; CMBS delinquency 5.21 percent, up from 4.97 percent -- both distinct metrics, not conflated; overall rate remains below the 5 percent section 13 falsification threshold. CRED iQ CMBS distress rate inclusive of specially serviced loans (Grade B data, Grade C publisher per paper section 10 publisher-grade rule): 12.2 percent across 50 largest U.S. metros in April 2026, with office at 17 percent and multifamily at 11.4 percent -- below the 15 percent section 13 falsification threshold; CRED iQ February 2026 forecast of 14.5-15 percent by year-end is the primary watchpoint for this metric. FAU screener (Grade B, FDIC Call Report underlying Grade A): 51 of 154 largest banks exceed the 300 percent CRE-to-equity threshold as of Q3 2025, below the 60-bank section 13 falsification threshold and consistent with prior-quarter readings.

Shiller CAPE at 41.66 as of May 15, 2026 (multpl.com mirror of Shiller data, Grade A), down 0.52 from the prior session close but continuing to hold above the section 7.3 regime threshold of 40. Layer C single-episode framing applies: 1999-2000 is the only completed historical episode with CAPE at or above 40 (n=1 at the episode level); the 61.9% subsequent-drawdown coverage frequency is descriptive single-episode evidence, not an independent-event probability per section 7.3. Damodaran implied ERP for US stocks stands at 4.23% as of January 1, 2026 (NYU Stern, Grade B), near the 1960-2025 period average and well above the less-than-1.5% ERP-compression falsification threshold in section 13; no ERP compression signal present. Q1 2026 earnings beat rate reached 84%, above the 5-year average of 78% (FactSet, Grade B), meeting the section 13.6 earnings-beat condition (>=80%); however, fewer than 4 of 5 section 13.6 conditions are confirmed in current evidence, so a bull-case state-change-down is not warranted. No CAPE threshold crossing (not approaching 45 from below; not retreating below 40); current_state of 0.99 is unchanged; evidence_added only.

Tether Q1 2026 BDO Italia attestation (Grade A, published 2026-05-01) shows direct T-bill holdings of $117.04B (per quote: US$117,035,732,050) and total direct + indirect Treasury-linked exposure of ~$141B against total assets of $191.77B and USDT outstanding liabilities of $183.44B -- full backing above 100%, with excess reserves at an all-time high of $8.23B. SIFMA (Grade A) places total Treasury securities outstanding at $30.7T as of April 2026; Tether's $117.04B direct T-bill holdings are a modest fraction of that market with no observable pricing pressure from its quarterly flow. Section 13 falsification criteria: direct T-bill holdings well below the 5% falsification threshold; no single-quarter swing exceeding $20B in USDT outstanding; attestation backing above 100%; no OCC or Treasury enforcement action against Tether as of 2026-05-16. GENIUS Act (OCC proposed rule 2026-02-25, FDIC NPRM 2026-04-07, final rules targeted July 2026) adds a forward-looking compliance risk for Tether market access but no current enforcement event has occurred -- this amplifier measures steady-state stock exposure, not event-driven de-peg risk (which belongs to the stablecoin trigger). Layer A scenario output, not a probability claim; evidence accumulation reinforces current_state of 0.30 with no material shift warranted.
