Institutional evaluation framework — strategies ranked by multi-factor quality score, not return alone
TOURNAMENT DOCTRINE: Strategies are never ranked by return alone. Evidence tier, sample size, and out-of-sample performance are weighted. Backtest, Forward, Paper, and Live evidence carry different evidentiary weight. A strategy with 12 trades does not rank as confidently as one with 1,200 trades.
