-- ABLATION: does beta-scaling carry the signal, or would raw distance-to-liquidation do the same? -- The pre-registered flag is (distance to liquidation %) / (asset crash beta) <= threshold. A reviewer's -- fair objection is that within a crash, accounts nearer liquidation liquidate — close to arithmetic — -- so the reported relative risk needs a baseline that is not 1x. This runs the IDENTICAL pipeline twice, -- once with the betas and once with beta forced to 1 for every market (i.e. raw distance), on the same -- snapshot, the same victim set, and a threshold chosen to hold the flagged-population size comparable. -- Jun-2026 event.
