Separate assistance from authority
An assistant may translate natural language into a candidate strategy, explain indicators, or suggest exploration ranges. Every result should resolve into a deterministic configuration that users can inspect, test, and approve.
Make simulation reproducible
Backtests need versioned inputs, stable assumptions, explicit fees, and visible failure states. Intelligence without reproducibility creates persuasive noise rather than engineering evidence.
Design for refusal
Strong systems know when not to proceed. Invalid configurations, incomplete market data, risk-limit conflicts, and model uncertainty must become explicit product states—not hidden logs.
