🧠 The Real Signal
The system is now operating in a fully stabilized post-threshold environment:
Stability remains high
Legitimacy deterioration is already embedded
The model is now driven by forward catalysts
Two unresolved events now define the near-term trajectory:
👉 Machado return (binary political trigger)
👉 Hellerstein ruling (legal-financial trigger)
Both remain open entering the next full briefing.
📊 Why It Matters
This phase is defined by controlled stability with rising conditional risk:
The regime remains structurally intact
International normalization continues
Economic stress persists (VAI remains in Severe Stress)
