Build the data layer, deterministic signals, and walk-forward eval framework for the speculative fund quant system. No portfolio management, no LLM agents, no web UI — just data access, signal computation, and rigorous evaluation.
Success criteria:
Design doc: Omni/Fund/Quant/DESIGN.md Research docs: ~/ava/ben/research/ai-quant-pipeline-v2.md, signal-agent-evals-v2.md
Ava verified: implementation present in live tree (file/feature confirmed via inspection). Moving to Verified.
Phase 1 complete. All 7 subtasks done. First passing signal on real data: 252d momentum IC=0.087, t=2.23. Full parameter scan infrastructure in place. Ready for Phase 2: alpha combination, portfolio optimization, web dashboard.
