The ACS has six signals. Only five have weights. Profitability 25%. Drawdown 25%. Consistency 20%. Longevity 15%. Win rate 15%. That is 100% of the score, accounted for. The sixth signal is Sharpe, listed on the @agenticscredit products page alongside the others. In the model, it "informs" the score. It just never gets a number. Three readings: - Benign: Sharpe is a sanity check, a modifier that nudges borderline cases without distorting the published model - Sloppy: the marketing page lists six signals because six sounds better than five - Opaque: an unweighted input is a dial nobody outside the team can audit The fix costs nothing: publish what "informs" means. A range, a cap, a worked example. A score marketed on verifiability should not have a ghost variable.
