Research Standards

Pre-Registration

All predictions are time-stamped and published before the out-of-sample evaluation period begins.

Reproducibility

Full pipeline parameters, data sources, and model specifications are documented for independent replication.

Real Costs

Every backtest includes evidence-based execution costs from real options chain observations. No frictionless assumptions.
