The Ruler

Before you can measure a method,
you have to measure the ruler.

A pass rate is meaningless without a chance model, and a chance model is a piece of code that can be wrong. Five errors were found in this one. Every one of them was generous — each made the methods look better than they were — and each was replaced not by a more conservative guess but by a law fitted to real bars and scored out of sample.

Each entry expands to the verbatim section of rules/THE_RULER.md that documents it, with the module that now implements the replacement.
