# Audit v3capq (auditor3, 23 Oct 2026, #3835)
Verdict: KILL (retire now; decide-by is 24 Oct anyway).
- Forward (src=fwd): n30 mean 1.02x, median 0.68x, up80 1.22, ex-top3 0.76x, last20 1.04x. The mean rests on the top 3 trades.
- Replay (no look-ahead): n287 mean 0.91x, median 0.66x, up80 0.99, ex-top3 0.84x, last20 0.61x.
- All trades (n317): mean 0.92x, up80 0.995 (<1.05), ex-top3 0.86x. Kill rule (mean<1.0, up80<1.05) met.
- Fwd n20 earlier was 1.14x; at n30 it is 1.02x and falling toward replay. No edge once the top 3 winners are removed.
- Chain rebuild, outside sellers, eth_call sell sim not run: pointless with ex-top3 <1.0 and replay <1.0.
- v3cls was already retired as a duplicate (22 Oct).
