How it works

A research session, step by step

Five steps from a loose idea to a written conclusion you can come back to.

  1. Confirm your email

    Request a link, confirm the address, and the notebook opens on this device.

    • No password to create
    • The link works once and expires after 30 minutes
    • Come back any time with a new link

    [email protected] → link → workspace

  2. Write the idea and the hypothesis

    Describe the idea in a sentence, then fill in condition, expected outcome, horizon and failure criterion.

    • Specific enough to be wrong
    • Failure criterion written before the test
    • Saved with the note

    FAILS IF the result is worse than buy-and-hold in 3 of 4 scenarios

  3. Choose scenario, template and assumptions

    Pick a sample regime and a strategy template, set the windows, fee, slippage and position size.

    • A live preview recomputes as you type
    • Defaults are deliberately simple
    • Every assumption is stored with the run

    Range-bound · Mean reversion 20 bars · 2.0 σ entry · 8 bps per fill

  4. Run, compare and read the summary

    Save a run, switch the scenario, run again. Compare runs side by side in the run table.

    • Results recomputed on the server when saved
    • Rule-based summary for each run
    • Optional AI explanation when enabled

    Run 1: +4.1% · Run 2: −2.3% · Run 3: +0.4%

  5. Record the conclusion and export

    Write what you learned and what you would test next. Export the note or delete it whenever you want.

    • JSON, CSV or Markdown export
    • Edit history kept with the note
    • Delete one note or all your data

    “Edge disappears above 12 bps. Next: slower exit.”

What happens to your data

Stored
Your email, your notes and runs, a session record while you are signed in, and consent records (for example, that you accepted the Terms).
Not stored
Passwords (there are none), payment details, brokerage credentials, IP addresses in our database.
Your control
Export or delete your notes at any time in the workspace; delete the whole account in Settings.

Try the loop once

One idea, four scenarios, one written conclusion. That is the whole method.
