With every test result we give you an indication of how usable it is in a trading strategy: the headline MinervaScore, and the statistical pass/fail seal, along with the full P&L report behind them. Here is what each one means.
A 0–100, verdict-consistent ranking of how far a validated result sits from five robustness thresholds. The paper demonstrates strong ranking performance in synthetic ground truth.
It’s seal-gated: 80 or above passed every mathematical gate (higher = wider combined margin) · below 80 failed at least one Seal gate. A separate evidence-floor warning describes sample breadth without changing that verdict.
Where the score grades, the Seal decides. Every gate must clear its threshold. The evidence floor is a separate warning about sample breadth and does not change a passed or failed Seal.
The report names a failing gate and its margin, or explains why the evidence is too thin to judge. Tap a gate for its math.
Below the score and seal sits the complete P&L report — performance, risk, trades, costs, charts, and the validation evidence.
On an optimization, the headline Sharpe is computed from daily returns on the untouched final holdout — a reserved slice of history the search never touched — with a Newey–West adjustment for serial correlation.
Every field is tappable for what it means and how to read it.
