Architecture

Six layers. One direction. Auditable end to end.

The platform is a unidirectional pipeline. Each layer can fall back to deterministic logic if the layer above it is unavailable. Nothing places an order without passing the containment layer.

The AI pipeline

AI is local-first. It feeds sizing and conviction. It never places orders. The execution path is rule based and auditable.

Stage 1

Rules

Deterministic filters. Always run. No model needed.

Stage 2

FinBERT

Local sentiment scoring on news and filings.

Stage 3

Local LLM ensemble

Qwen + Llama. Runs on operator hardware. Voted.

Stage 4

Premium fallback

Optional. Only invoked under explicit policy.

D016 · AI policy

AI is advisory. It does not place orders.

Model outputs feed sizing, conviction, and, under explicit policy, signal-level vetoes. The order path itself is deterministic. If every model is offline, the platform still operates on rules.
