A ranking is not a track record
Historical research on the point-in-time evidence needed to distinguish a ranking from a defensible track record.
The research
The idea worth keeping.
The public method separated a research recommendation, its first tradable entry, later observation and the claim made from that evidence. A ranking alone cannot substantiate a track record.
Entry and benchmark evidence must be established at the relevant time. A later price cannot repair a missing starting point, and process integrity is not proof of predictive skill.
