Credentials from the publisher

CANLI_PACKS — Packs to enable, comma-separated (quant, validation, fundamentals, research, backtest, markets, paper) or all. Default: all but paper.
CANLI_OFFLINE — 1 enables only the packs that never use the network (quant, validation).

Canli Capital

Open quant research where every published number comes with the file that produced it, including the strategies that failed. Live at canlicapital.com.

If a check here stopped you from trusting a backtest that wasn't real, a ⭐ helps other quants find it.

What is here

Backtest validators (deflated Sharpe, CSCV overfitting probability, minimum track record, haircut Sharpe, luck-equivalent trials) as an MCP server and a free API, each result with a signed receipt anyone can recompute.
SEC fundamentals point in time as an MCP server (npx -y canli-fundamentals-mcp): what a company first reported, what was known on any date, and every later restatement, each value with its filing, computed locally from a hash-checked SEC snapshot.
The research record as an MCP server (npx -y canli-research-mcp): papers, killed candidates, trial counts and the live paper record.
Company reference pages built from SEC XBRL filings: financial histories where every value links to the filing it came from, with the year-on-year change and growth rate worked out.
Research, including what failed: the kill log, the Null Zoo (overfitting corrections scored where the truth is known) and luck-equivalent trials.
Open data: FilingFacts, financial questions with machine-checked answers from SEC filings (CC BY 4.0).
ALPHAC, the three-strategy paper-trading book whose record is published daily; its engine is github.com/arhancanli/alphac.

Why this repo is public

The site's whole claim is "a quant fund proving itself in public before it asks you to trust it." — the tagline in config/brand.js. A site that makes that claim and hides its own source is asking for a trust it hasn't earned. So: this is the source, including the parts that enforce honesty on us.

The load-bearing one is docs/retracted_claims.txt in the engine repo. When a number is withdrawn it goes on a blocklist, and check_retracted_claims.py scans dist/ and public/ for it before each deploy. It cannot be satisfied by deleting the number — a retracted figure must still be quotable inside its own retraction, so a match counts only when the explanation is absent from the surrounding window.

That check exists because the retraction here had already failed twice: a withdrawn DSR of 0.83 stayed on the homepage and in the social-unfurl card for six days after the signed chain formally withdrew it. The pipeline was publishing the correction and the error in the same run.

The gate is now fail-closed for publication. Since 2026-08-19, both live_tick.sh and live_publish.sh run check_retracted_claims.py after regeneration and skip the deploy when it fails. Trading remains outside that blast radius: a publication defect can stop the website from shipping, but cannot place, cancel, or delay an order.

public/paper-state.json and public/glassbox/* are written by the engine's publish job, not by hand. They are the machine-readable form of every claim the pages make. Current corpus counts are derived during the build from public/research-index.json, public/glassbox/trial_packet_manifest.json, and the generated measurement directory; the sitemap is generated from the same files rather than maintained separately. The present build contains 348 canonical URLs in the sitemap (all indexable), plus a public noindex evidence page for every incomplete registered trial and one archival HTML paper per registered sleeve. It publishes identity-level packets for all 228 recorded hypotheses, while honestly marking 226 of those packets incomplete.

The local paper-journal example connects supplied sizing, order checks and signed local journal evidence. The execution package remains private and Unreleased, with journal writes explicitly enabled by the caller. It has no broker connection and places no orders.

Build and run

npm install
npm run build      # Vite multi-page build -> dist/
npm run preview    # serve the built dist
npm run dev        # dev server with hot reload

Three.js, GSAP + ScrollTrigger and Lenis are self-hosted — they install from npm and Vite fingerprints them into dist. Nothing is fetched from a CDN at runtime. The build must stay green, and source plus dist must contain zero em dashes (U+2014); both are audited before deploy.

Brand and facts are single-sourced

config/brand.js is the one place names and numbers live. js/shell.js renders the nav and footer from it so every page ships byte-identical chrome, and js/main.js binds data-brand, data-flagship, data-tagline and data-fact nodes from it.

STATS and FACTS are the only numeric claims permitted on the hand-authored marketing surfaces. Generated papers and measurement pages obtain their figures from engine exports and carry their own source paths and claim boundaries. audit-published-numbers.mjs reconciles the shared site-level figures; do not add a number to either layer without binding it to an authoritative artifact.

Not investment advice

Nothing on this site or in this repo is investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation. The record published here is paper trading; the published ALPHAC strategy record includes no funded performance. Simulated and past performance do not indicate future results.

Glass-box platform expansion

The platform direction and quality contract connect the research engine, developer API/MCP and the company-reference collection. The local expansion candidate adds 49 SEC-backed reference pages; it is not a million-page deployment. The search goal is at least 800,000 indexed pages, targeting 1,000,000, recorded in config/search-growth-goal.json. npm run seo:inventory reports built counts separately from actual indexing evidence; the indexed count remains unverified until Search Console evidence is available. --require-indexed-minimum fails while that evidence is missing. npm run seo:capacity tests sitemap transport with synthetic URLs in a temporary directory.

Refresh selected company records explicitly with npm run companies:import -- CIK [CIK ...]. Builds use captured public JSON and original compressed source snapshots, with no network ingestion during publication. The selected latest-filed histories may contain restatements and are not point-in-time backtest data. Public JSON downloads do not extend the validation API's capabilities.
