Paper And Scoreboard Example

This shows the forward-evidence loop after a strategy survives historical review. Scoreboard rank is earned by forward paper history — not inherited from the backtest that justified promotion.

Example progression

1. Save a credible result
Acceptable validation and benchmark context make it a candidate for forward tracking. Last historical checkpoint before the live paper record starts.
2. Promote into paper
Paper sleeve starts from its creation date. Earlier history can warm up signal state — it does not fabricate a live record.
3. Watch the alert layer
Drawdown breaches, negative forward return, weak benchmark fit, regime stress. Alerts tell you how the sleeve is failing, not just that performance cooled.
4. Read scoreboard as forward evidence
Rank is earned by stored live history and governance-aware scoring. Monitoring surface — not a historical beauty contest.

Stage Metrics Action
Day 63 +4.2% forward return · +1.3% active return · 0 critical alerts Keep monitoring
Month 4 Benchmark fit warning · recent regime transition Watch deterioration closely
Scoreboard Live-history threshold met · upper-half rank Forward record earning attention — backtest not "proven true"

What this does not prove

No broker-grade execution Paper layer is product-side forward evidence — not a broker-audited live track record. Fill quality and operational resilience are separate.
No immunity to intervention bias Keep changing a weak sleeve during the paper phase and the record becomes hard to interpret. Scoreboard rank requires disciplined governance.
No automatic right to scale Better forward rank justifies continued attention — it doesn't remove execution planning, risk budgeting, and approval before real capital is involved.
