A named setup the engine recognises when multiple factors align — like "Quality Compounder" or "Short Squeeze".
When a specific combination of factor scores fires, we label it with one of 19 academic-style patterns (Quality Compounder, Value Trap, Short Squeeze Setup, Earnings Quality Crack, etc.). Each pattern has a published source effect size. The pattern overrides part of the raw composite — that's the +δ shown on the banner. Tail-dependence determines whether the override is full-weight (structural co-movement) or half-weight (coincidence).
