Field Note
Claims Without Scope Are Just Marketing
Why every robustness claim needs a defined test scope.
A robustness statement without scope is not an analytical statement.
The minimum scope includes EA version, settings, broker/data assumptions, symbol, timeframe, historical window and method.
AntiOverfit records are intentionally scope-bound because a universal claim would be misleading.
Practical implication
If the claim depends on one curve, run a Reality Check before assigning trust.
If the claim depends on one curve, run a Reality Check before assigning trust.
The backtest is the pitch. AntiOverfit is the check.
Use public evidence or apply AntiOverfit directly to the EA.
