Research Does Not End at the Backtest
A backtest can test an idea, but deployment depends on the entire path from signal evidence to execution, controls, and repeatable operation.
04 / Research notes
Process-focused writing on quantitative research, digital-asset market structure, execution, risk controls, and fund readiness.
05 / Published notes
Tau Technologies is developing a connected research-to-execution system for a market-neutral digital asset fund. These notes explain the principles shaping that work: evidence before scale, venue-aware implementation, embedded risk controls, and readiness before deployment.
The material is intentionally focused on process rather than performance. It documents how Tau is approaching the build and where assumptions must continue to be tested.
Research note
A backtest can test an idea, but deployment depends on the entire path from signal evidence to execution, controls, and repeatable operation.
Research note
In fragmented markets, data, signal evaluation, portfolio construction, execution, and risk cannot be separated from the venues where decisions may be implemented.
Research note
A launch date is a calendar marker; readiness is evidence that the complete research and operating system can work together with discipline.
