# Edge Strategy Reviewer

Deterministic quality gate for strategy drafts produced by edge-strategy-designer.

## When to Use

- After edge-strategy-designer generates strategy drafts.
- Before exporting drafts to edge-candidate-agent via the pipeline.
- When manually validating a draft strategy for edge plausibility.

## Methodology

1. Load the draft strategy YAML (single file or a directory of drafts).
2. Evaluate each draft against 8 weighted criteria (C1-C8):

| # | Criterion | Weight | Key Checks |
|---|-----------|--------|------------|
| C1 | Edge Plausibility | 20 | Thesis quality, domain terms, mechanism keywords (continuous 50-95) |
| C2 | Overfitting Risk | 20 | 5-tier filter-count scoring (90/80/60/40/10), precise-threshold penalty |
| C3 | Sample Adequacy | 15 | Continuous scoring from estimated annual opportunities (10-95) |
| C4 | Regime Dependency | 10 | Cross-regime validation |
| C5 | Exit Calibration | 10 | Stop-loss, reward-to-risk |
| C6 | Risk Concentration | 10 | Position-sizing limits |
| C7 | Execution Realism | 10 | Volume filter, export consistency |
| C8 | Invalidation Quality | 5 | Signal count and specificity |

3. Compute a confidence score as the weighted average across all eight criteria.
4. Apply verdict logic: a failing severity on C1 or C2 is an immediate REJECT; confidence >= 70 with no fail-level findings is a PASS; confidence < 35 is a REJECT; everything else is REVISE, accompanied by concrete revision instructions.
5. Assess export eligibility: only PASS drafts flagged `export_ready_v1` in an exportable entry family qualify.
6. In strict-export mode, any warn-level finding on an otherwise export-eligible draft downgrades it from PASS to REVISE.
7. Produce the review output (summary counts by verdict, export-eligible count, and per-draft findings with revision instructions where applicable).
