The last call is history. The current SATOSHI read appears above; WAIT is a valid decision and does not book a paper position. Check feed health below to distinguish a quiet desk from a feed problem.

unavailable — not recorded: the desk stamps the price the book PAID, not the market when the read was taken, and a read under the floor waits for the ask — so the two can be minutes apart. The locked entry is shown separately; the live ask is above.

Fair value and the current ask are in “what this call costs” above — fair value is DERIVED by the desk’s model, the ask is what the market quotes. The paper book fills at 80¢ or better. A read under the floor still stands and still grades every seat; it simply does not fill. The old 70¢ floor is counted alongside as research and never gates a fill.
Current frame · the gauge below moves live. A standing UP/DOWN read may have qualified earlier; use the decision snapshot above for call-time evidence when one is recorded. Paper entry is separate.
Chair lean
Red means DOWN lean. Green means UP lean. Gold is balanced. The white marker shows the Chair's actual signed score on one fixed directional scale.
The marker does not move just because the call requirement changes. The two ticks are the current call lines, converted into the same raw-score units from bar ÷ aggressiveness, so those ticks may move as timing and conditions change.
Crossing a tick clears the signal check, not every check. The Chair may still WAIT, and paper entry is separate. This scale is directional strength, not win probability.
This instrument is the current frame. A standing UP/DOWN read can persist from an earlier qualifying frame, so the live marker can later sit inside a moved threshold without rewriting that earlier read.
Current Chair frame: raw lean +0.000, 0% of the fixed directional-strength scale toward NEUTRAL. Current call line ±1.200 raw score; effective signal 0.000 vs bar 0.660. No net directional lean. Standing Chair read: WAIT. A standing UP/DOWN read can come from an earlier qualifying frame while this live marker and the current call lines keep moving. If a decision snapshot is recorded above, that is the call-time frame. Paper entry remains separate.
Current Chair frame: raw lean +0.000, 0% of the fixed directional-strength scale toward NEUTRAL. Current call line ±1.200 raw score; effective signal 0.000 vs bar 0.660. No net directional lean.

The house conclusion, and why
gate confidence 79SATOSHI says: SATOSHI: WAITLOW CONFLUENCE
Paper entry: UP at 85¢. At observation 2026-10-03T16:44:02.158Z, 0 seats agree with the held side and 0 seats oppose it. Entry-time agreement: MISSING. The position is held to settlement. The read has moved since, but the position is held to settlement.
how far the weighted vote cleared its own bar — not a chance of winning.
Why WAIT?
The specialists do not agree hard enough for the weighted evidence to clear its own standard.
- blocking · |score| × aggressiveness ≥ confluence bar — |0.000| × 0.55 = 0.000 vs bar 0.66 (sit 1.00)
WAIT recorded 2648 times; abstentions are not scored as directional hits.
More than one condition is missing. Clearing any single one of them would still not produce a call.

what breaks it
The read is off if book goes chalk (YES or NO ≥ 99¢)
paper book
a paper position is held: UP locked at 85.0¢. The read above is the desk's opinion now; the position is what the book already did.
Distance to the decision standard
The weighted evidence against the bar it has to clear. Both numbers are the Chair's own — the same comparison its gate records.

Evidence is not the only thing missing — another gate is blocking too. No single change guarantees a call.
Chair gate: |0.000| × 0.55 = 0.000 vs bar 0.66 (sit 1.00). Raw score 0.00 × aggressiveness 0.55. This is a decision standard, not a chance of winning.

What the desk sees
0 speaking · 21 research rolesFive specialist families. A number in brackets is a RAW read the Chair never heard; a plain number is a vote it did. The roster is not the available-source count. Quarantined research seats do not vote.
Evidence balancespeaking 0 UP · 0 DOWN · 2 WAITsuppressed directional 0 UP · 0 DOWN
A count of what the specialists read, not a second opinion. SATOSHI is the only conclusion this desk draws.
21 research roles: 0 directional leans · 18 neutral · 3 without a retained read. SATOSHI counted 0 directional reads. WAIT reads are neutral; research roles are not available voters.
4 sources with selectable LIVE cards · 2 with seat authority available now. Confidence and entry gates still apply. 21 research roles · 15-role voting roster, not 15 available voters · 3 retired · 3 pit crew. Retired means the seat still has a public graded record, but its vote is not counted in the Chair.

A book that has not moved in a while is a quiet market, not necessarily a stale one. The exchange's own quote timestamp is not available from this feed, so every age here is the desk's own clock. The perpetual basis above is an OKX/Binance reference, not the settlement index.
Paper book
Paper only. A read is an opinion; a position is something the book already did. They are not the same event and are never merged here.

The book holds UP at 85.0¢, and that side's ask is 98.0¢ now. One position per window, so the held side does not change when the read does — and right now it does differ from the WAIT read above.
Decision notes and voting context
why
FINAL · no directional setup · score +0.00 vs bar 0.66 after sit-mass 1.00 · top-3 not in conflict → WAIT
More than one thing is missing: |score| × aggressiveness ≥ confluence bar (|0.000| × 0.55 = 0.000 vs bar 0.66 (sit 1.00)), and the score is under the bar.
WAIT recorded 2648 times; abstentions are not scored as directional hits.
