Most tools hand you a score and ask you to trust it. We do the opposite. Our AI ranks companies 0–100 on relative health and quality today — and before any relationship is published, it has to pass a full out-of-sample validation battery. If it does not pass, we say FAIL or INSUFFICIENT_DATA and we withhold the part that did not hold up. Right now 0 cells have earned a VALIDATED label — and we show you exactly that.
Passed every gate out-of-sample. Decile rank is monotone, IC is positive and t-significant after Newey-West, PBO is low, and the Deflated Sharpe survives multiple-testing correction. Only here do we publish a relationship.
Tested honestly and did not clear the bar. We say so plainly and withhold the score relationship. A FAIL is information, not an embarrassment — it stops us from selling a result that is not there.
Not enough point-in-time history to run the full battery to significance. No verdict is asserted until the panel is deep enough. We never round INSUFFICIENT up to VALIDATED.
| Gate | Frozen threshold | What it enforces |
|---|---|---|
| Deflated Sharpe probabilitystricter: min | ≥ 0.95 | Sharpe deflated for the number of trials searched must clear this probability — the anti-overfitting hardgate. Below it, no relationship is published. |
| PBO · probability of backtest overfittingstricter: max | ≤ 0.25 | Combinatorially-symmetric CV over S=16 blocks; a high PBO means the config likely overfit in-sample. |
| IC Newey-West t-statstricter: min | ≥ 3.0 | Cross-sectional IC must be significant after HAC autocorrelation correction — a raw t is not enough. |
| Mean cross-sectional ICstricter: min | > 0 | Spearman IC mean must be strictly positive (strict >, no epsilon fudge baked into the frozen value). |
| Decile monotonicitystricter: on | required · 0 adjacent violations | Adjacent-decile rank staircase must be monotone out-of-sample, with top−bottom alpha > 0. |
| Beat all baselines (B0–B3)stricter: on | required · ≥ 0.005 IC margin | The engine must strictly beat every evaluable Occam baseline rung by the IC margin — no credit for merely matching a trivial baseline. |
| Minimum observations (data floor)stricter: min | ≥ 24 dates · ≥ 1000 obs · ≥ 30/section | A credible NW-t and cross-sectional IC need enough rebalance dates and per-date breadth; below the floor the gate fails closed. |

On the in-repo membership-only PIT artifact the US-equity cell resolves to INSUFFICIENT — the gate fails closed rather than publish an edge it cannot defend. The methodology below is the illustrative FAIL walkthrough the battery is built to catch on liquid US large-caps: a 12-family composite whose out-of-sample Information Coefficient sits at 0.015–0.019 — positive, but below the bar. That is the efficient-market ceiling, not a bug to patch.
We never emit a directional trade instruction. Direction did not validate, so we do not sell it.
No calibrated "X% chance of outperformance." That number would imply a validated edge we do not have.
No "+8% to +14% expected" bands. Return calibration failed the gate.
No forward-looking score sold as a forecast. Our 0–100 is relative health today, not a prediction.

The IN_VALIDATION envelope + a Methodology page showing 0 validated cells and the honest US-equity result. No competitor publishes this.
Retail investor, active trader, and UHNWI advisor served in one product — the market is otherwise persona-segmented.
A graded edge spanning asset classes and signal types, where every edge competitor is single-lens.
One surface collapses what serious users stitch from six vendors — no tab-hopping between flow, 13F, charting and scoring.
Terminal-grade density + AI-ALPHA fusion at a consumer subscription — the missing middle between $12–32k terminals and shallow retail apps.
Every battery run freezes its inputs and emits a 64-character evidence hash. The hash pins the data window, the config, and the per-gate verdicts, so the same result can be reproduced and audited rather than taken on trust.
