Tools as reported by the server

• validate_deflated_sharpe
  Deflated Sharpe ratio: the probability (0 to 1) that the selected strategy's Sharpe beats the best that luck gives across the variants tried, with the probabilistic Sharpe and that luck benchmark. Send the seven statistics or a return series. With every variant's returns use validate_overfitting; lu
• validate_overfitting
  Probability of backtest overfitting (0 to 1) by CSCV: how often the in-sample best variant falls below the out-of-sample median. Needs every variant's returns (periods by variants); with summary statistics only, use validate_deflated_sharpe. A deflated Sharpe or overfitting probability above or belo
• validate_reality_check
  Data-snooping tests on every variant a search tried: Hansen's SPA p-value that the best beat the benchmark only by luck, White's Reality Check, and the variants Romano-Wolf StepM finds better. Send all variants tried, not only the winners. A deflated Sharpe or overfitting probability above or below
• validate_paper_evidence
  Checks paper-evidence.v0 structure and disclosures. With CANLI_LOCAL=1, record_file reads an export bundle and journal_file verifies signatures, source hashes and recomputed claims. Without a journal, source facts and signatures are unchecked. Local files are never uploaded. This verdict is about th
• validate_breadth
  Book Sharpe ceiling from adding sleeves of this quality and correlation, the Sharpe at a sleeve count, and the sleeves a target needs. For portfolio construction; it validates no single strategy. This verdict is about the series exactly as submitted. The service never saw the data source, its costs,
• validate_track_record
  Minimum track record length (observations and years) for an observed Sharpe to beat a benchmark at a confidence level; with observations, the record's probabilistic Sharpe so far. For live or paper records; to size a backtest for its trials, use validate_backtest_length. A deflated Sharpe or overfit
• validate_backtest_length
  Minimum backtest length (years) before the best of N independent trials is not expected to reach a target Sharpe by luck; with backtest_years, the most trials those years allow. For planning a search; once it has a result, use validate_deflated_sharpe. A deflated Sharpe or overfitting probability ab
• validate_haircut_sharpe
  Haircut Sharpe for multiple testing (Harvey and Liu 2015): the Sharpe a single test would have needed, by Bonferroni and independent tests, and with the other tests' Sharpes, Holm and BHY. For the probability the Sharpe is real, use validate_deflated_sharpe. A deflated Sharpe or overfitting probabil
• validate_luck_trials
  How many skill-less strategies a search would need for its best to reach this Sharpe by luck (Monte Carlo), and with a trial count, the chance it did. States luck as the best of N random tries; for the probability the Sharpe is real, use validate_deflated_sharpe. A deflated Sharpe or overfitting pro
• audit_backtest
  One-call audit of a strategy's returns. Headline: one test whose false-positive rate was measured on nine return shapes (White's Reality Check with variants, luck trials with Lo's correction without). Then deflated Sharpe, minimum track record and, with variants, overfitting and out-of-sample decay,
• verify_receipt
  Verify a receipt offline: its Ed25519 signature against the bundled canlicapital.com key, its output hash and its id. Send an id to fetch it first, or the receipt itself. The receipt is content-hashed, reproducible from the open-source core it names, and signed with Ed25519 by a key published at htt
• service_status
  Whether the validation API is up, with its quotas; check after a timeout before resubmitting. No key. This verdict is about the series exactly as submitted. The service never saw the data source, its costs, survivorship, or any lookahead in how the series was built.
• backtest_strategy
  Backtest a rule on your prices over a whole parameter grid, then validate the best with the count of variants actually run: deflated Sharpe, overfitting probability, minimum track record, vs buy and hold, after costs. A backtest, deflated or not, is not a forecast and not advice.
• summarize_series
  A long price or return series in about 100 words plus fields: growth, risk, dated drawdowns, trend, volatility regime, tails, jumps, stale data. Use instead of reading raw bars. Nothing here is a forecast or advice.
• stress_test
  Stress a strategy's returns: bootstrap histories (how often the drawdown limit breaks or Sharpe turns negative) and named crash, volatility, repeat and stuck-position scenarios, with a fragility share. Frequencies over resampled histories are not forecasts of the future.
• check_feasibility
  Check a trading plan before it trades: broker order-rate and minimum-order limits, 2026 US day-trading rules, square-root market impact with crowding, and the capital where costs eat the return. Checks the plan as described against published broker limits and a market-impact model; it never contacts
• check_leakage
  Does a signal look ahead? plan gives cuts; rerun your code on the first cut rows for each, then compare. Rows that changed used later rows; the result names the pattern and horizon. No code is sent. A pass covers only these cuts: the columns are the caller's, and survivorship, vendor revisions or a
• placebo_test
  Does your pipeline find edges in noise? plan writes placebo files (your data's returns in random orders, so nothing is predictable); run the whole pipeline on real.csv and on each, then compare for a p-value that counts every choice it makes. Beating the placebos shows the pipeline finds more in the
