Verdict

  • OOS: C7 Sharpe 1.05 vs BASE 0.98; C7+state 1.07 (p=0.47).
  • Holdout: C7 1.51 vs BASE 1.49; C7+state 1.39 (p=0.02).

Promotable only if the state-augmented hedge beats the incumbent C7 on Sharpe OR materially cuts CVaR5/maxDD with SR within -0.10, on the holdout, beyond the bootstrap null. Otherwise the hedge channel closes the same way as the exposure channel.
