AUGUR

An augur read the omens before Rome acted.
This one reads markets before money moves.

TRANSMISSION CH 003

Prove it. Or bury it.

Every figure in this film comes from the ledger below · 59s · sound on

Every hypothesis is written down before the first data point. Every strategy faces a kill criterion it cannot negotiate with. Money moves only after the evidence survives.

What the eye does

Discipline

Pre-registered hypotheses

Specs are frozen before data exists. Thresholds, universes, and failure conditions are committed in writing — pre-registration makes post-hoc changes auditable and forces every changed specification to begin a new evidence record.

Evidence

Forward-only proof

Signals log themselves in real time and label their own outcomes as markets settle. The record is append-only: no post-hoc edits, no survivor stories, no lucky-quarter mythology.

The graveyard

Strategies die cheap

Ideas are executed in shadow before a dollar moves. Sixteen ideas have been graveyarded so far — most falsified in shadow or on historical data at a research cost of $0, two killed by a live-data autopsy of a third-party bot's own records, and two killed before a single line of strategy code was written. Each failure is a logged autopsy with dates and sample sizes, not a deleted embarrassment. Read the graveyard →

Reproduction fidelity

Ported, then proven

A charting-platform strategy was rebuilt engine-for-engine in Python and cross-checked against three independent data feeds — reproducing recorded live trades to the tick — before any verdict was trusted. Independent reproduction means a verdict can't hide in a vendor's engine quirks.

Vigilance

The watchdog

Silent failure is the enemy of honest data. An independent watchdog turns every outage into loud evidence — it has caught real gaps that would otherwise have masqueraded as quiet markets.

Autonomy

Runs while you sleep

Around-the-clock scanning, self-healing schedules, a machine that wakes itself to keep the record intact. The system needs a human for exactly one thing: the final go/no-go.

Now

One forward stream live

As of 2026-07-30: one stream remains. The crypto event-contract experiment reached its verdict and failed — it is in the graveyard with its terminal numbers. CME micro futures continues in forward shadow, its decision rule frozen on 2026-07-24 after seven adversarial review rounds, reading no earlier than 2026-09-11. Neither hope nor fear can move the goalposts — including when the goalpost says stop.

Curious?

Augur is one instrument in a larger constellation — autonomous agents that research, build, and verify under one discipline. Validated strategies flow to Talos, the execution layer; nothing flows until the gate passes.

Futures and event-contract trading involves substantial risk of loss, including total loss. Backtests are not live results; shadow execution is not funded execution. Full trading risk disclosure →
