Fixed scope. Full ownership. Zero lock-in.
Four productized engagements covering the lifecycle of a systematic trading operation — from "is this strategy real?" to "keep it running while I sleep." Every engagement ends with you owning the code, the documentation, and the knowledge.
Strategy Validation Audit
Before you risk capital — or pitch investors — find out whether your backtest survives honest scrutiny. We rebuild your evaluation with leak-proof methodology and tell you the truth about your edge.
- Purged, embargoed walk-forward re-testing
- Deflated Sharpe, overfitting probability, regime breakdown
- Data-leakage and survivorship-bias inspection
- Written verdict: deploy, fix, or kill — with reasons
The cheapest insurance a quant can buy.
Production System Build
Your strategy, engineered into a monitored, fault-tolerant trading system on cloud infrastructure — the same architecture we run our own capital on.
- Execution engine with broker integration (Alpaca and others)
- Risk layer: sizing, exposure limits, circuit breakers
- Containerised deployment, CI/CD, health monitoring, alerting
- Runbooks, documentation, and full handover
From notebook to production without hiring a team.
Market Data Engineering
Point-in-time-correct pipelines that stop your research lying to you — and your live system trading on stale or broken data.
- Point-in-time feature stores with as-of joins done right
- Corporate actions, calendars, and timezone correctness
- Automated quality monitors and drift detection
- NLP/sentiment ingestion pipelines for alternative data
Research-grade data discipline, production-grade reliability.
Fractional Quant Engineering
A senior trading-systems engineer on retainer — operating, improving, and extending your stack without the full-time cost.
- System operation, monitoring, and incident response
- Continuous strategy and infrastructure improvement
- Monthly engineering report and roadmap
- Priority access to FluxMetrics platform tools
Institutional capability at a fraction of a hire.
A process designed to de-risk hiring us.
Working session — free, 30 minutes
Not a sales call. Bring your strategy or stack; leave with a straight assessment of where it's fragile and what we'd do. Same-day technical response to every enquiry.
Written proposal within one week
Fixed scope, milestones, timeline, price, and a concrete definition of done. No open-ended billable hours.
Paid diagnostic first
Every large engagement starts with a small, paid diagnostic phase — you see real output and working style before committing to the full build.
Build, verify, hand over
Tested code, documentation, runbooks, and a recorded walkthrough. You own everything. If you never need us again, that's a successful engagement.
Your strategy is your edge, and we treat it that way. Every engagement runs under NDA by default. Work happens in your repositories and your cloud accounts — your code and data never need to leave infrastructure you control. All intellectual property created during an engagement is yours from day one, and we never reuse client strategy logic, signals, or data elsewhere — including in our own trading.
Currently accepting two new engagements.
Small by design — the person who scopes your project is the person who builds it. If the work is a fit, we'll tell you. If it isn't, we'll tell you that too.
