## Scope
- Market / contract and venue rules to verify:
- Time horizon and data source:
- What I can lose in a paper experiment:

## Question
- What observable behavior am I investigating?
- Why might the mechanism occur?
- What would make this idea wrong?

## Rule specification
- Entry condition (including candle-close timing):
- Exit / invalidation condition:
- Position sizing assumptions:
- Venue, fee, slippage, funding and margin assumptions:

## Evaluation
- Benchmark and sample dates:
- Chronological holdout reserved before parameter choice:
- What evidence would justify revise / stop / further observation?

## Review
- What was known before the result:
- What happened, including costs and missing data:
- What changed and why:
- Next review date:
