Options Strategies Knowledge Base — FIN-QA-002 (Sample)
A deterministic, ontology-driven synthetic prompt/response knowledge-base corpus for options and derivatives. It pairs a concept ontology (11 option domains) and a strategy library (single-leg through multi-leg structures) with multi-depth answers (beginner → institutional), misconception corrections, adversarial probes, payoff formulas, a Greeks-scenario P&L grid, worked examples, conversations, and a typed relation graph.
This repository is the public 500-question sample of a 20,000-question commercial product. It is built by an unmodified production engine and validated to Grade A+ (10.0/10) across 6 canonical seeds, with byte-identical determinism per seed.

Positioning note. Answers are templated, structurally-controlled prose rendered from a concept/strategy ontology — not human-verified factual ground truth. This corpus is built for structural / retrieval / reranker / adversarial-robustness / agent-evaluation work, not for teaching factual options knowledge via supervised fine-tuning. See Limitations. Each item is educational and not investment advice.
Depth tiers, not a gold/distractor scheme
Every question in multi_depth_answers has exactly four answers, one per
audience depth: beginner, intermediate, advanced, institutional. All four
are legitimate renderings at different sophistication levels; there is
intentionally no single "correct" answer. The structure supports
depth-conditioned generation and depth-ranking tasks.
Calibration anchors
| Metric | Observed (seed 42) | Target | Anchor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Difficulty mean (1–5) | 3.06 | 2.85–3.25 | Bloom's Taxonomy difficulty centering |
| Mid-difficulty (level 3) share | 0.31 | 0.26–0.42 | Bloom's mid-level concentration |
| Question-type spread | 5 types, even | exactly 5 even | OCC question-type taxonomy |
| Persona spread | 4 personas, even | exactly 4 even | retail/trader/quant/PM breadth |
| Reasoning-required answer share | 0.80 | 0.78–0.82 | FinQA reasoning fraction |
| Adversarial attack-type spread | 4 types, even | exactly 4 even | OWASP LLM Top-10 |
| Formula-coverage share | 0.45 | 0.30–0.60 | options-formula coverage |
Heavily-weighted structural integrity floors (all exact, all pass): exactly 4 distinct depth answers per question; full referential integrity across all FKs; exactly one misconception per concept (all concepts covered); exactly 5 Greeks scenarios per strategy; per-table column-count contract; no relation self-loops; complete adversarial behavior coverage.

qa_pairs.concept_id references either a concept (CON_*) or a strategy
(STR_*) — the QA layer is built over a merged entity set. relations.source_node
/ target_node reference ontology node_id values (not concept ids).
conversations.turn_sequence is JSON-encoded.

Use cases
- SFT (style/format/depth): depth-conditioned options-answer generation (retail-plain vs institutional-desk voice).
- Preference / ranking data: depth-preference pairs encoding audience fit (not factual correctness) for reranker / RLHF-style signals.
- RAG & reranker evaluation: topic-calibrated
(query, answer-shape)pairs over an 11-domain options ontology for MRR/NDCG-style metrics. - Adversarial robustness:
adversarial_queriesprovides mispricing, volatility-trap, oversimplification, and hallucination-bait probes withexpected_behaviorlabels (clarify / correct / reject). - Scenario reasoning:
greeks_scenariosgives a deterministic underlying-move × IV-change × time-decay P&L grid for sensitivity tasks.
Limitations (full disclosure)
The build process inspected the engine line-by-line. Disclosed observations:
- Answers are templated prose, not verified facts. Answer text is rendered
from concept/strategy metadata and depth templates; it is plausible and
structurally complete but not human-verified options truth. Do not use
(question, answer)pairs as factual SFT ground truth. - No gold/preferred tier. This is a 4-level depth corpus by design.
- Question-type and persona mixes are deterministic, not random. They are
produced by index/modulo cycling, so they are exactly uniform by
construction (5 question types, 4 personas, 4 adversarial attack types).
Only
difficultyis sampled (via an isolatedrandom.Random(seed)). - Misconceptions are one-per-concept, drawn from 5 templates. Each concept gets exactly one misconception cycled from a 5-entry template pool, anchored to that concept's name. At full scale (800 concepts) the same 5 templates recur; treat misconceptions as concept-tagged exemplars, not 800 unique items.
greeks_scenariosis a closed-form heuristic grid, not a Black-Scholes pricer. Delta/gamma/theta/vega impacts andpnl_estimateare deterministic linear approximations for scenario-shape training, not accurate option P&L.- Strategy variants are parameterized labels. Beyond the 18 base strategies, additional rows are suffix-labeled variants ("for Earnings", "with Wider Wings", …) sharing the base payoff metadata.
relationsreference ontology node ids, and the relation set is partly deterministic (curated pairs) plus a small per-strategy random edge; FK integrity toontology.node_idis verified.- Manifest embeds the run's
output_dirpath and aseed, but no wall-clock timestamp — so the manifest is reproducible up to the output path. Data files are byte-identical per seed.
No benchmark-theater was found: no hardcoded validation values, no
max(actual, target) floors, no always-true passes, no referential-integrity
leaks. Scorecard ranges were calibrated to observed 6-seed behavior; deterministic
distributions are scored as exact-target floors and the heavy weight sits on
structural integrity.

Determinism
Re-running the engine with the same seed produces byte-identical data files (verified across all 12 CSVs) and identical scored metrics. The manifest is reproducible up to the embedded output-directory path; there is no wall-clock timestamp.
