How SigmaX Proves What It Claims.
SigmaX is built so that nothing can be misrepresented. Every claim carries an evidence class. Performance is reported net of cost or not at all. Green is earned through a gate — never assigned. This page is the canonical explainer for how that discipline works.
AI analyzes. Deterministic systems validate. Humans authorize. Capital remains governed.
Five levels. Each earned, not assigned.
A candidate moves up only by passing the gate that defines the next level. Failures stay on the board.
Describes an idea. Cannot confirm it generalizes. Never shown as live performance.
Tested on data it has not seen. The first gate an idea can earn.
Live conditions, no capital at risk. Fills, costs, slippage observed — not assumed.
Operator capital only. Net performance, drawdown, capacity, kill rule — disclosed.
Counsel-reviewed track: legal pathway, eligibility, compliance review, operator approval.
Candidate A enters at EL1 — an in-sample result, labeled as such.
FAILURES PRESERVED · 0illustrative candidate · a level is the gate that was passed, never a label that was assigned · failures stay on the board
EL4 · Operator or company capital only — never outside or customer capital. EL4 carries the full net-performance, drawdown, capacity, and kill-rule disclosure and a documented proof packet.
Reported net — or not at all.
Every cost is stated, not waved away. If one cannot be measured yet, the result is blocked rather than reported.
Fees, slippage, and other costs are each stated. The number shown is the one a real participant would have kept.

The Demo Board Ships Green: 0.
An empty success column is a feature. A green result means an out-of-sample gate was earned — and until one is, the honest count is zero. A demo board that showed manufactured wins would be the failure. The illustrative board below shows the failures on purpose.
Zero validated wins until an out-of-sample gate is passed. This is the honest default, not a placeholder waiting to be filled with optimism.
Items that have cleared their stated gate in this demo board — shown for shape only.
Currently under test. Not yet promotable. Outcome unknown until the gate resolves.
Refuted or fell short out-of-sample. Failures are preserved on the board, not hidden.
Cannot advance without an input the platform does not yet have — data, approval, or infra.
Sample, Demo, and Not Connected.
Illustrative figures used to show how a surface behaves. Sample data carries the “Illustrative sample — not client data” marker and is never upgraded to real evidence. The current web surface is demo-only with live connectors disabled.
No live data source is wired to this surface. “Not connected” is the honest default — SigmaX shows it rather than fabricating numbers to fill the space. A value appears only when a real, governed source is present.
What Atlas Can — and Cannot — Do.
Atlas is the SigmaX AI assistant built into the platform — an analysis assistant that works on evidence and prepares decisions. It does not make them, and it holds no capital authority.
- Explain the evidence behind a claim and its evidence class.
- Summarize a thesis and its supporting and opposing nodes.
- Draft a Briefing for human review.
- Forecast with explicit labels, assumptions, and confidence.
- Surface contradictions and counter-evidence.
- Prepare a Decision Record for a human to authorize.
- Trade.
- Move money.
- Authorize capital.
- Publish without approval.
- Guarantee an outcome.
- Replace human review.
Most Risk Comes from Other Agents.
Most risk does not come from static numbers — it comes from other agents responding. SigmaX models incentives, beliefs, counterparty behavior, and venue behavior before treating a claim as decision-ready. Every model shows its assumptions, solution concept, sensitivity, evidence, and limitations.
Read-only analysis. No capital authority. No execution.
What the model takes as given, stated explicitly.
The equilibrium or reasoning standard used to resolve the interaction.
How conclusions move when assumptions move.
The evidence class supporting each input and conclusion.
What the model does not capture and where it can be wrong.
SigmaX provides capital decision intelligence, scenario analysis, and authority workflow software. SigmaX does not provide investment advice. SigmaX does not place trades, move funds, route customer capital, or manage client capital. Shadow/simulated/paper/backtested results are not live trading results. No result is a guarantee of future performance. Human approval is required before any capital-linked action.
Where SigmaX uses AI, it is governed as assistive software: truthful capability claims, human oversight, traceable records, disclosure of AI assistance, and no capital authority. SigmaX designs AI controls with reference to applicable securities obligations, FINRA existing-rule guidance, SEC AI-claims discipline, NIST AI RMF-style risk management, and EU AI Act transparency readiness. This is compliance-readiness design, not a claim that every deployment or jurisdiction-specific use has completed legal review.
