RESEARCH

Ideas must survive the Gauntlet.

Ascent evaluates strategies with walk-forward discipline, cost stress, and clear eligibility gates. Promising is not the same as paper-eligible. Paper-eligible is not the same as LIVE.

Research spans core and tactical horizons. Tactical / intraday work uses MarketDataService minute bars when entitled — never fabricated series — and remains RESEARCH / SHADOW until evidence and capital approval earn more.

Canadian accounting intelligence prepares CPA-ready records from deterministic engines. Numbers come from Ascent's books — not invented LLM arithmetic.
