The three live sleeves at 1/3 each: Sharpe 1.52 vs 0.76–1.27 individually, MaxDD −16.6% (half the best sleeve's), correlations 0.19–0.25. Monthly distribution with monitoring bands, worst/best months attribution, drawdown episodes, weight sensitivity, and the Germany N=10 vs N=20 decision.
r=0.35 full-sample, but it swings from −0.73 to +0.85 across rolling 12-month windows. Six crisis periods, a check for cash-timing artifacts, and where 50/50 actually sits versus the efficient frontier (spoiler: not on it).
Five one-at-a-time sweeps behind the TSX momentum strategy — lookback, market cap floor, regime window, portfolio size, fundamental filter — plus a full extreme-return data-quality scan. N=10 isn't a strict winner on every metric, and we say so.
