Civil Asset Forfeiture "Policing for Profit".

Diagnoses the legal extortion mechanism of "Equitable Sharing": allowing police departments to permanently seize cash and property from individuals who have NOT been charged with a crime, keeping the proceeds to fund department budgets.

## Arbitrage and Inefficiency Modeling

Markets and systems constantly seek equilibrium, but they rarely achieve it instantly. The delta between inefficiency and equilibrium is the 'Arbitrage Margin'.

### Stateless Architecture
The tool is designed strictly as a stateless function. `f(x) = y`. There is no implicit session state altering the math. This ensures 100% mathematical reproducibility, which is required for rigorous academic or financial auditing.

### Identifying the Bottleneck
If the tool outputs an arbitration window of less than 3%, it generally means the systemic friction (transaction costs, network latency, taxes) will consume the entire profit. The system is structurally efficient, and you should deploy resources elsewhere.
