The Scientific Method - Discipline & Rigour

  Throughout the workflow we deploy the scientific method:

  Strategy Identification:

- Specify the problem

- Propose a solution in the form of a defined hypothesis

- Test the hypothesis

- Assess the performance based on statistical thresholds

- Draw conclusions based on probabilistic distribution of results

- Develop decision logic and next steps based on conclusions.

  Strategy Development:

- Convert hypothesis findings into strategy and signals

- Develop model prototypes

- Backtesting and walk forward analyses

- Assess the performance based on statistical thresholds

- Draw conclusions based on probabilistic distribution of results

- Develop decision logic and next steps based on conclusions
