Returns the single analyst with the highest win rate among those with at least 5 resolved signals, plus their last 3 recent signals (using the free 7-day window). Useful for AI agents that want to surface the best-performing signal source without iterating over all 10 analysts. Returns { analyst: null } when no analyst yet has 5+ resolved signals. Analyst IDs map to: chain_hawk=ChainHawk (BTC), whale_watch=WhaleWatch (multi-chain), alpha_scout=AlphaScout (emerging tokens), defi_pulse=DeFiPulse (DeFi/stables), quant_edge=QuantEdge (risk/convergence). winRate is a fraction (0.71 = 71%); avgReturn is percentage points (12.3 = +12.3%). Cached ~10min.
