Governed strategy lifecycle

From investment hypothesis to approved strategy — under governance.

Kalawer models the quant lifecycle as an explicit, auditable sequence of stages. Each stage produces artefacts a validator, risk manager, or auditor can inspect later.

Lifecycle stages

  1. Hypothesis

    Pilot MVP

    Assumptions, universe, and expected drivers are framed as a structured record — not a slide deck.

  2. Evidence

    Pilot MVP

    Metrics and artefacts are imported with source-tagged provenance. Incomplete evidence cannot advance.

  3. Validation

    Pilot MVP

    An independent validator — distinct from the author — challenges the record and can block promotion until findings are addressed.

  4. Risk

    Pilot MVP

    Limits, exposure boundaries, and known failure modes are first-class fields the risk manager can require remediation on.

  5. Approval

    Pilot MVP

    Named human decisions from the investment committee are recorded as immutable, attributed events.

  6. Controlled deployment

    Future Vision

    Deployment orchestration is part of the broader operating-system vision and is not included in the paid pilot scope.

Stages labelled Pilot MVP are the delivery scope of the paid design-partner pilot. Controlled deployment sits in the broaderVision.
