Notes

We're building this for students who haven't yet learned that a strategy can quietly cheat by knowing the future. It takes a plain-English idea, turns it into a backtest against historical data, and surfaces the usual traps: survivorship bias, look-ahead leakage, regime dependence, overfitting. The MVP works; it's still moving.
