## The brief — a case you can defend

The honest, two-sided brief for anyone surfacing JYOTINT to a colleague or principal. The case for, all independently checkable: verifiable provenance (SHA-256 + Bitcoin anchor + recompute), genuine specificity (61 of 68 graded calls named a causal mechanism before the event, avg 6.4 of 7 vectors, median 68-day lead), misses kept in the denominator (58 HIT / 3 NEAR / 3 PARTIAL / 4 MISS), and a dated pre-event mass-casualty warning checkable to the day (Crocus, IA-RU-008). The case against, stated up front because it is what makes the rest credible: the method is Vedic astrology, the Brier (0.0717) is self-assigned and a base-rate baseline ties it, and the sample is small and operator-selected. (NSSL is no longer a gap: the corpus includes a flown call on the NSSL launch vehicle — Vulcan Cert-1 / LA-003, the rocket class that flies national-security payloads; NSSL is the vehicle, not the payload, and no operational national-security mission, NRO payload, or affiliation is claimed.) The framing that holds: a tamper-evident, self-verifiable pre-event forecast registry and early-warning signal — never a national-security go/no-go decision input. Plus the three objections you will get, answered, and the 60-second verification.
