Principles

What the system is built to protect.

These are not slogans. Each one corresponds to a behavior the platform is designed to enforce.

  1. 01

    Constraint before optimization

    Decide what may be owned and traded before deciding what is optimal. Constraints define the space; optimization only searches within it.

  2. 02

    Evidence before deployment

    An idea earns its place with out-of-sample and prospective evidence — not with a persuasive story or a flattering backtest.

  3. 03

    Unknown means stop

    When eligibility, data or authorization is uncertain, the system does not guess. It halts and records why.

  4. 04

    Capital is bounded

    Every mandate operates within explicit capital limits. Size is a governed input, never something a model quietly escalates.

  5. 05

    Authority is explicit

    Actions that move real money require explicit, verifiable authorization. Nothing self-authorizes.

  6. 06

    Research is reproducible

    Frozen rules, recorded data and deterministic engines mean a result can be reproduced — or shown to be wrong.

  7. 07

    Values are part of the system

    Ethical constraints are enforced by the software, not appended as a disclaimer at the end.
