+
+Variant C: generic-only 19 + 16 new moment/volatility families (skew, kurt,
+DSV+ratios, max_up/down, rv_ac1, rv_cv_22, sig lag-5). 35 sp_* fields, ou/hmm excluded.
+
+Run a3f7d1d40c3d4b839314fcf5b40f9b08 (tac-rd-moments / exp 12) — FINISHED.
+
+## Result: NEGATIVE (regression vs generic-only baseline)
+
+| Metric | generic-only 19 (run 7b1e797) | +moments 35 (run a3f7d1d) |
+|---|---|---|
+| Rank IC   | 0.0635 | 0.0466 |
+| Rank ICIR | 0.276  | 0.183  |
+| L-S Sharpe | 2.55  | 1.44  |
+| net excess (cost) | +3.1% IR 0.28 | -16.2% IR -1.57 |
+| MDD | -7.3% | -11.1% |
+
+Same failure mode as ou/hmm in exp 9: adding cross-sectional moment features
+to the 50-name panel degrades the rank signal. Generic-only 19 remains the
+best configuration. No further moment-family variants planned.
