01 / RESEARCH DISCIPLINE

A HYPOTHESIS
IS NOT AN ANSWER.

A hypothesis only gains value when it can be measured, challenged, and rejected.

  1. 01QUESTION
  2. 02HYPOTHESIS
  3. 03TEST
  4. 04EVIDENCE

02 / EVIDENCE OVER INTUITION

MEASURE FIRST.
BELIEVE LATER.

Quantitative research requires separating apparent patterns from behaviors that withstand tests and different contexts.

THE SAME SIGNAL
DOESN'T MEAN THE SAME THING
IN EVERY CONTEXT.

Markets change behavior. Understanding context is part of the research problem.

01STATE A
02STATE B
03STATE C
04STATE D

03 / STRATEGY GOVERNANCE

THE HARD PART
ISN'T FINDING IDEAS.

IT'S KNOWING
WHEN TO TRUST THEM.

A strategy can work in one context and degrade in another. That is why research requires continuous evaluation, limits, and governance criteria.

  1. 01RESEARCH
  2. 02TEST
  3. 03OBSERVE
  4. 04DECIDE

BACKTESTS ARE
THE BEGINNING,
NOT THE END.

Historical behavior can help build evidence, but hypotheses must also face new data, changing contexts, and unseen conditions.

01HISTORICAL
02OUT-OF-SAMPLE
03FORWARD OBSERVATION
04REAL-WORLD EVIDENCE

04 / RESEARCH CULTURE

A GOOD RESEARCH SYSTEM
MUST BE ABLE TO SAY NO.

SOFI Labs does not seek to preserve every strategy. It seeks to build a process capable of questioning, comparing, and rejecting them when the evidence changes.
