Everything below runs on the same deterministic test battery. Same input, same verdict — bit for bit, every time. What differs is what you do with the result.
Send a signal or backtest (returns series, equity curve or trade list). The battery tests it out of sample, against chance and against overfitting — and returns a verdict with the reasons attached: which gate it died at, how close it was, and what survived.

Deposit your hypothesis today; it gets a tamper-proof public timestamp — a mathematical seal anyone can check. Then the market happens. Then we evaluate, strictly on data from after your timestamp. The result is the only kind of track record that cannot be backfilled, cherry-picked or rewritten: you provably called it first.

When a signal fails — or barely passes — the forensics report shows the whole picture: how the edge decays when you delay execution, what realistic costs do to it, whether it survives with chunks of history removed, how it behaves across market regimes, and how much capital it could actually carry before eating itself. Know where the edge died, so you stop digging in dead ground.
$2–5 PER REPORT
Export any verdict as a signed certificate. Whoever you show it to — an investor, a prop desk, a skeptical forum — can check on our verify page (or fully offline) that it is genuine and unaltered. If a single byte was changed, the check fails.
