AI confidence
Mixed evidenceThe tests show no consistent, material advantage over the no-change baseline.
Model: Agentic Investor TSFM (foundation model)
- Accuracy vs naive
- -1%Matches the no-change baseline over 8 tests (8 tests, 4 won)
- Direction
- 62%No clear edge over a coin flip (20 of 32 calls right in 8 tests)
- Turning points
- 9 of 12Anticipated most turns (12 turns in 8 tests, 0 without a turn)
- Error vs baseline
- 1% higherError ratio 1.01; 1.00 is a tie.
- Tests won
- 4 / 8Complete rolling backtests; ties count as no win.
- Test period
- 2018-12-01 to 2026-09-014 observations ahead per test.
- 80% band coverage
- 88%Observed outcomes inside the band across all stored test windows.
- Band coverage uses all stored test windows, including model-selection windows when present; it does not determine the confidence label.

- This is an evaluation of the serving model; it does not establish a winner across four model classes.
How this assessment is made
AI confidence describes historical evidence for this forecast, not a probability of being correct. Each backtest fits on data available before its test window. The baseline carries the last value forward. Supported evidence requires at least six complete, non-overlapping tests, an error ratio below 0.90 (rounded to two decimals), and wins in a majority of tests. Ratios from 0.90 to below 1.10 are on par; 1.10 or above is weak evidence. Inconsistent wins produce mixed evidence. For a selected model, only the recent tests excluded from model selection determine this label. These are historical simulations using the available data, not a live trading track record; revisions and foundation-model pretraining can limit how closely they reproduce a past decision. Past performance can change.
