Abstract

A system-wide audit revealed 7 agents producing INVENTED data: random confidence scores, hardcoded win rates (72% when real is 36.67%), fabricated +16.18% profit targets, and made-up anomaly scores. ALL purged: - add_discoveries.py: random.uniform confidence → None - experiment_runner.py: hardcoded 0.95/0.85 anomaly scores → binary - predictive_sentinel.py: invented 90/70 confidence → evidence-based count - merlin_api.py: hardcoded 0.5 confidence → None - e8_fibonacci_engine.py: fake 72% win rate → None (must query real data) - e8_otc_agent.py: fake +16.18% on all alerts → real Yahoo Finance prices - e8_meme_tracker.py: no actionable data → real BUY/SELL with calculated targets PRINCIPLE: If a number cannot be traced to a real data source or mathematical calculation from real data, it does not exist in the system.
