Phase 02 · live evaluation · running

Sixty-six features.
Two loops. Closed.

A closed-loop quantitative research arm inside The Threshold Collective. We do not raise. We do not market. We do not promise. Every model has to earn its place on live evaluation. Every model we retire has been killed on purpose.

// what this is

Not a fund. Not a hedge. A research practice.

Two production research loops, both closed-loop, both run on internal infrastructure. The work is quantitative, the inputs are private, the outputs are documented. We publish what we are willing to be held to and we say nothing about what we are not.

The Quant Collective sits inside The Threshold Collective because the methods translate. Every governance discipline that keeps Elysium safe at scale is the same discipline that keeps a research loop honest about whether a model deserves to be in production. Lived experience, applied.

/ 01

Closed by default.

Both research loops run on internal infrastructure. No third-party API calls in the live evaluation path.

/ 02

Live evaluation, not backtest.

Every model in production is evaluated continuously against forward data. Backtests are a starting line, not a finish.

/ 03

Killed on purpose.

Models retire on a schedule, not a feeling. The retire decision is documented and time-stamped.

/ 04

No marketing register.

If we cannot say it without flourish, we do not say it. The page you are reading is the only page we maintain.

// phase timeline

Where we are. Where we are not.

Four phases, two complete, one running, one ahead. Phases do not move on a calendar; they move when the work earns the next step.

Substrate.
Infrastructure, telemetry, the data layer, the evaluation harness. Everything below the modelling line. Built first because nothing real survives without it.

Feature engineering.
Sixty-six engineered features across two domains. Each feature audited, ranked on stability, scored on contribution. The catalogue is internal.

Live evaluation.
Two production research loops, running, observed, scored against forward data. The current state of the work. Continuous, not episodic.

Selective open.
The point at which we publish what we are willing to be held to. Date undecided. We will not say "soon".
