Research Standards for Quantitative Strategy Validation
This document defines the research standards applied in the evaluation of trading strategies within Invariance Research. It establishes a structured, execution-aware framework designed to identify false edge, quantify robustness, and assess capital risk under realistic market conditions. The methodology prioritizes reproducibility, parameter stability, and implementation realism, ensuring that observed performance reflects deployable outcomes rather than simulation artifacts. These standards serve as the baseline for all internal analyses and external validation engagements.
