Retired for vagueness · no longer on the board
This index was published under the desk’s current standard and withdrawn from the board by amendment v1.3 §10, which holds a universe to the bar the thesis has always been held to: a universe that declares only a category makes no claim any market could falsify. Its methodology, its inverse twin and its failure ladder were all compiled — the declaration of what it was about is what did not hold up. It is still published and its dated history is intact, but it is not part of the listed suite and should not be quoted as a current W.E.T. index. It returns to the board the day a committed spec declares a universe that names its subject — the bar it was refused by (`universe-names-no-subject`). Compiling a methodology is not the missing piece and never was. See the published suite →
W.E.T. Sports Championship Heat Index
v3SlateDailyAs of Sep 6, 2026 · last moved Sep 5, 2026 · scale 0–100 (Clear favorites → Toss-ups)
How wide-open the championship races are across major sports.
Retired — read instead: the published W.E.T. index suite. no successor is published, and this one was the most expensive reading on the desk: it declared the `sports` category alone and admitted 10,736 market references on the nightly plan — 41% of the entire quote ceiling and 3.8x the next largest index — to publish "insufficient data" over 2 constituents, 1 of them priced. Sports is opportunistic coverage for this desk (CLAUDE.md coverage pyramid), and a sports reading that earns a place back has to name the competition it is about rather than the category. This page and its full history remain published for continuity.
No level published — this book's daily returns cannot be attributed to its own holdings. On 1 day the per-market contributions do not sum to the day's return; the widest break is 2026-08-02, off by 7.12e-3. Cash earns nothing here and there are no flows, so that sum is an identity, not an approximation — a gap means the replay and the attribution disagree about what this basket held. The level is withheld until they agree.

Equal notional from each holding’s inception mark, re-marked at the two-sided mid. Percentages only, size-blind — never a cash figure and never a performance claim.
Cost to cross is the weighted half-spread at the touch on the newest mark tape: what entering at the quote rather than the midpoint would have cost. It is the price of the FIRST unit and says nothing about the tenth — the resting size beside each holding is published so a reader can judge whether their own size fits. It is not deducted from any return above.
A published measurement of what these markets did together. Not an account, not directly investable; W.E.T. never handles orders.

Daily close
22d published · interactive22 published close(s) — 0–100 (Clear favorites → Toss-ups). Drag to pan, scroll to zoom. One slot per published close, not one per day: dates on the axis are real, the spacing between them is not. 24 day(s) inside this window published no close and are not drawn at all. For the calendar-true spacing, read the chart below. Drawn as a line, not candles: a daily close carries no open, high or low, and a candle would assert an intraday range nobody observed.
