What it measures: Public-calm/private-cracking divergence — credit migrated to private markets where IG/HY OAS is blind; this watches the market's live pricing of private-loan books while public spreads stay quiet

Threshold: Fires: IG OAS < 150 AND ≥2 of {BDC median P/NAV < 0.90, BKLN−HYG < −2pp/60d, BDC basket−HYG < −5pp/60d} | armed at 1

Current interpretation: ARMED — IG calm at 78 bps with 1/3 divergence condition true (BDC median P/NAV 0.816 < 0.90 ✓; BKLN−HYG +0.16pp/60d ≥ −2; BDC basket−HYG +2.76pp/60d ≥ −5; as of 2026-07-22); fires at ≥2
