Status Quo vs Live Reform on Scenario Desk

Two paths. One balance. Do not mix the vote filter with the fair-value path.

Status Quo

The path under current rules without the live legislative rewrite. Your baseline for “if nothing passes,” and the reference the Live Reform delta is measured against.

Live Reform

Probability-weighted reform view across 31 political actors × 36 elements, fed straight into the fundamental S/D model. New TNAC, balance and supply/demand numbers come out on the weekly cycle (and ad-hoc on bigger policy events).

Filter discipline

Per-element vote filters belong on the vote block only. The full live market-impact path stays unfiltered so desks do not accidentally rewrite fair value when they explore a chamber view.

FAQ

Why not one blended number only?
Desks need to see what is law versus what is politics. Blending without showing both paths hides risk.
