Thesis
BC: the register reads Eby (NDP) and Doerkson (Conservatives) as a dead heat; October polls run Conservative +5 to +8. Re-read at the 14 Oct leaders' debate.
This number is a language read only. It does not use polls. On the 2026-10-03 top-up (Doerkson n=28, Eby n=19, uploads 9/28 onward, frozen scoring matrix), fresh momentum reads Eby -0.068 vs Doerkson +0.013, a margin of 0.081: coin-flip scale, nominal leader Doerkson. EHIQ 46% for the NDP (the 9/27 open was 49%, and the 10/24 grade scores that open).
The polls disagree, and that disagreement is the test this call exists to run: Liaison Strategies (Oct 7-8) Conservatives 43, NDP 37; Angus Reid (Oct 1-3) 48-43; Mainstreet (Sep 30-Oct 1) 45-37. If the Conservatives win the most seats, the register missed and the miss publishes at full size.
- 1.2026-10-03Top-up (stamped 2026-10-03): fresh like-for-like window, Eby -0.068 vs Doerkson +0.013, margin 0.081 -> 0.46. Controls pass: 13/14 shared items rescore exact, count two ways agrees.
- 2.2026-10-12Polls recorded against the number (not inputs): Liaison Oct 7-8 Con 43-37; Angus Reid Oct 1-3 48-43; Mainstreet Sep 30-Oct 1 45-37. Conservatives +5 to +8.
- 3.2026-10-12Next read: the 14 Oct leaders' debate, scored 15 Oct by the speaker-attributed debate method.
- 4.2026-09-27Superseded 2026-10-03 (top-up -> 0.46): Momentum scorer (20-race calibrated logistic): Eby +0.06 vs Doerkson -0.34, margin 0.40 -> Eby 48.9%. Cleaned (shared video + 2 archive items out): margin 0.18 -> 47.1%. Coin flip either way.
- 5.2026-09-27Superseded 2026-10-03 (top-up -> 0.46): Eby's strongest read: UBCM address +1.83 (confidence +9.89). The Trump-threat election-call framing registers as strength in his language even while polls punish the call itself.
