STRATEGY VALIDATION
A convincing backtest is not enough.
Before a strategy is trusted with more capital, it should survive evidence it was not built to impress. QuantWeaver Strategy Validation subjects systematic strategies to a deeper research process designed to expose overfitting, instability, regime dependence and unrealistic execution assumptions.
THE PROBLEM
Backtests answer one question. Capital requires several more.
A backtest can tell you what happened under a particular set of historical assumptions.
It does not automatically tell you whether the strategy is robust, whether the result will survive different market conditions, whether costs destroy the edge or whether the apparent advantage came from repeated experimentation.
Those questions require a different standard of evidence.
RESEARCH SCOPE
A deeper standard of evidence.
The final scope is agreed before work begins and reflects the strategy, data and implementation supplied.
- 01Data and strategy integrity
- 02Out-of-sample and walk-forward research
- 03Robustness and parameter stability
- 04Cost sensitivity and execution realism
- 05Regime analysis
- 06Statistical significance and deployment suitability
THE VERDICT
The objective is not to pass the strategy.
The objective is to reach the most defensible conclusion the evidence allows.

Strategy Validation is custom quoted according to compute, data, instruments, strategy complexity and validation depth.
A validation conclusion is bounded by the agreed scope and is not a guarantee of live performance.
