Verklig, an Urverk service
The gate we hold our own fund to, pointed at your strategy.
We built a deflation gate so our own systematic fund could not fool itself. It has killed most of the strategies we ever pre-registered, in public, including one we had already approved. Before you trade real money on a backtest, let the same gate try to kill yours.
What the audit answers
Send a daily returns series, optionally a baseline to measure your uplift against, and the other variants you actually tried. You get a certificate covering the four questions a serious allocator will ask anyway:
- What Sharpe survives once your trial count is corrected for selection luck?
- Does the edge hold up in walk-forward, out of sample testing?
- What is the probability of backtest overfitting across many in and out of sample splits?
- What is the smallest edge your sample length could even detect in the first place?
The verdict applies the identical pre-registered significance floor we hold our own research to. It is the same code path that has killed almost every idea on our kill log, not a softened demo. Read the honest positioning plainly: this is the gate we run on ourselves, turned outward.
Who it is for
The buyer is always the person whose capital is at risk, because only that person profits from a kill:
- Retail quants going live with savings. A drawdown on real capital plus months of misplaced conviction costs far more than an audit.
- Prop shops and funded-trader candidates. Desk capital allocated to noise, and repeated challenge fees, add up fast.
- Emerging managers pre-launch or pre-pitch. An allocator will ask about overfitting; walk in with the answer already computed.
- Allocators and diligence teams. A seed into selection luck is basis points on real AUM plus the reputation of whoever signed it.
Two worked examples, rendered by the real certificate
These are the two demo inputs committed in our public repository, run through the exact certificate a customer receives. Nothing below is hand-written; every figure is computed by the gate.
Pricing
A full certificate plus a one-page written interpretation of what each gate means for your strategy. Verdict in 48 hours.
The standard audit at a launch price for the first ten customers, in exchange for permission to publish an anonymized tally of the verdict.
Up to five related strategies, or one strategy with its full variant history, plus a methodology call and an allocator-facing letter that states scope and limits in diligence language.
A re-audit of a revised strategy is $149, because the intake is already done. The detection floor calculator and both worked examples above are free forever.

The intake note tells you exactly what to send: a returns CSV or JSON, the baseline if you have one, every sibling variant you tried or an honest count, the return frequency, and one paragraph on how the strategy was selected.
