Datasets:
Backtest Run Inventory
All backtest runs referenced anywhere in the paper, grouped by experiment.
Run artifacts live under <repo_root>/reports/backtest/<run_id>/ and contain:
metrics.json— summary metrics (total_return, max_drawdown, sharpe_ratio, total_trades, avg_position_days, avg_cash_ratio, avg_gross_exposure, value_filter_pass_rate, etc.)trades.csv— per-trade log (date, ticker, action, shares, price, value, justification)equity_curve.csv— daily portfolio time series (date, total_value, daily_return, cashflow=cash_balance, benchmark_value, benchmark_return)backtest_report.md— human-readable summary
Multi-mandate comparison bundles live under <repo_root>/reports/multi_personality/<bundle>/ and contain:
comparison_data.json— mapping from mandate key to its run ID, return, MDD, trade count, and aggregated metricscomparison_report.md— human-readable summarypersonality_summary.csv— flat CSV summary

Experiment 2 — Full-run reproducibility (US 6M, Run 2)
Independent re-run of all five US 6M mandates with identical configuration to Experiment 1.

|---|---|
| Fundamental Value | mp_fundamental_value_20260425_035029_413185 |

Experiment 3 — US 3M mechanism ablation (Dec 1 2025 – Feb 28 2026)
Each LLM-conditioned mandate has a Full variant (full doctrine) and one Ablated variant (a single guardrail removed).
| Mandate / variant | Run ID |
|---|---|
| Fundamental Value — Full | 20260417_160942 |
| Fundamental Value — No filter | 20260417_191443 |
| Behavioral Momentum — Full | 20260417_220721 |
| Behavioral Momentum — No guardrails | 20260418_004927 |
| Macro Tactical — Full | 20260418_033940 |
| Macro Tactical — No tilt | 20260418_072633 |
| Low-Volatility — Reference | 20260418_110947 |
| Equal-Weight — Reference | 20260418_111210 |
Experiment 4 — US 3M backend robustness (GPT-5.4 replacement)
Same 3M window as Experiment 3, but the reasoning backend swapped from DeepSeek-V3.2 to GPT-5.4 while every other component is held fixed.
| Mandate | GPT-5.4 run |
|---|---|
| Fundamental Value | 20260423_124148 |
| Macro Tactical | 20260424_094955 |
| Behavioral Momentum | 20260424_132728_372104 |
| Low-Volatility | 20260424_094956 |
| Equal-Weight | 20260424_132723_271683 |
These per-run metrics are also aggregated into
derived/gpt54_robustness/backend_comparison.csv, which is what the
generate_backend_robustness_figure.py script consumes.
Experiment 5 — Execution efficiency ablation (CN, 10 tickers, 6M)
Three execution paths (E0/E1/E2) on a fixed business setting (10 CN tickers, multi-mandate, Sep 1 2025 – Feb 28 2026), used only to demonstrate runtime/cost reductions enabled by shared phase-one preprocessing and warm artifact caching.
