The prediction that knew tomorrow

Author a timestamped feature table. Remove future information and explain why shuffled test rows did not fix leakage.

Hypothesis and criterion

Name the expected effect, metric and what would count against the hypothesis.

Method and reproducibility

Record fixtures, source, version, parameters, units, controls and how cases are split.

Paired evidence

Case and split Baseline result Changed result Interpretation

Counterexample and revised design

A renamed or transformed post-event flag still leaks future information even though its name looks harmless.

Record your new case and rerun the original cases after redesign.

Individual defence

Explain the mechanism, one exact result and what would overturn your conclusion.

Remaining uncertainty and handover

Timestamp eligibility alone does not establish consent, usefulness or absence of other leakage.

Next test: _ . Project filename: _ . Work that is mine and tools I used: ____ .
