The Forensic Method

A four-part series on standards of evidence in day trading. What counts as proof. What counts as corroboration. And what almost every service you have ever used cannot show you.

The Series
01

Chain of custody. Why a prediction that can be edited after the outcome is known is not a prediction at all — and how to test whether anyone has actually sealed theirs.

03
One Signal Is an Opinion.
Six That Agree Is a Finding.
Corroboration. Why agreement between methods that share inputs is not corroboration at all — it is an echo. And what independence actually requires.

04
You Cannot Improve
What You Never Examined
The audit trail. Why seeing the answer teaches you nothing, why seeing the reasoning teaches you everything, and why almost nobody will show you the second one.

The Position Papers make the disclosure.
How the universe is constructed. How corroboration is scored across independent instruments. How the daily seal and hash are generated — and how you verify them yourself. That material lives in the SCIF Reading Room, and it is open to any registered analyst. Registration is free. No card. Read the method, then judge it.
