Edge Strategy Reviewer

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

When to Use

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

Prerequisites

Strategy draft YAML files (output of edge-strategy-designer)
Python 3.10+ with PyYAML

Workflow

Load draft YAML files from --drafts-dir or a single --draft file
Evaluate each draft against 8 criteria (C1-C8) with weighted scoring
Compute confidence score (weighted average of all criteria)
Determine verdict: PASS / REVISE / REJECT
Assess export eligibility (PASS + export_ready_v1 + exportable family)
Write review output (YAML or JSON) and optional markdown summary

Review Criteria

#	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

Verdict Logic

C1 or C2 severity=fail → immediate REJECT
confidence >= 70, no fail findings → PASS
confidence < 35 → REJECT
Otherwise → REVISE (with revision instructions)

# Bias checklist (issue #297): mandatory strategy-research bias gate.
# Uses the bundled checklist unless a custom YAML path is supplied.
# A draft leaving any required item unaddressed is downgraded PASS → REVISE
