tnic peer guidance spillover
What it checks
When TNIC peers raise/lower forward guidance, the focal firm tends to follow 1-2 quarters later.
Mechanism
Keyword-match guidance-up vs guidance-down phrases in TNIC peer transcripts. 90d rolling sum z over 252d -> directional focal.
Signal rule
long focal when peer-guidance 90d-sum 252d z >= +1.5; short on z <= -1.5; hold 21/42/63d.
