The platform
Compass is our independent trading research platform. It brings data capture, research, evaluation, monitoring, and an operator workspace into one broader project. The repository named compass is the engine component inside that larger system.
Different jobs, clear boundaries
The engine interprets captured evidence. Helmsman gives research ideas, monitors, decisions, and audits a shared workspace. Structure Lab turns visual pattern definitions into versioned, testable configuration. Shared infrastructure connects them without erasing those responsibilities.
How it evolved
The work expanded from one engine toward named variants over a common data layer. It includes stored-output replay, forward observation, and a deliberate distinction between changing calculations and changing a model’s interpretation contract.
The parts we set aside
The project history includes Polymarket experiments, rejected graph-based assumptions, a decision against deep historical model re-scoring, and a scheduler migration. Those decisions are part of the build, with their own articles below.
A private walkthrough
Compass is privately operated. Helmsman has a deployed, protected web interface; the platform continues to evolve. Contact me for a walkthrough and to discuss access.
