Where ProofSleeve actually stands.

The historical and forward market-data foundation is built and backed up. Some layers carry known window or coverage caveats.

• 20-year survivorship-free equity archive (incl. delisted securities)verified · 2026-09-03Complete

  Irreplaceable archive; protected by verified backups with one restore-procedure caveat under retest.

• Forward daily bars for the core ETF setverified · 2026-09-02Complete
• Sector ETF data layerverified · 2026-09-02Complete · caveats

  History starts 2016 — no 2008-crisis coverage in this layer.

• Cross-asset ETF data layer (equities, bonds, gold, REITs, commodities)verified · 2026-09-03Complete · caveats

  History starts 2016 — no 2008-crisis coverage in this layer.

• Stock-level data-quality clean universeverified · 2026-08-30In progress

  Heuristic clean-universe rules; known limits around dividend timestamps and extreme-event quarantine.

Five frozen strategies are paper-tracked month by month. Paper tracking is simulation — it is not live trading and it does not prove profitability.

• July 2026 official paper monthverified · 2026-08-01Complete

  Paper-tracked result, not live performance.

• August 2026 official paper monthverified · 2026-09-01Complete

  Paper-tracked result, not live performance.

• September 2026 official paper monthplanned · 2026-09-03Gated

  Waits for October data gates (early October). A completed month records what happened — it does not prove future profitability.

Two research candidates are registered shadow-only. Shadow candidates are never customer products; promotion is structurally blocked in the database schema.

• R3B sector relative-strength rotationverified · 2026-09-03In progress

  SHADOW_ONLY. 0 of 12+ forward months recorded; first forward month expected October 2026. Historical backfill is research, not forward evidence.

• R12 cross-asset momentum (diversifier)verified · 2026-09-03In progress

  SHADOW_ONLY. 0 of 12+ forward months recorded. Research window starts 2016; bonds did not hedge equities in 2022 and may not in future.

Research decisions are recorded openly, including negative results. Closed lines stay closed unless new evidence reopens them.

• F3 dual momentum remains the current interim core engineverified · 2026-08-12In progress

  Paper-tracked, not live, not proof-grade. Interim means it can be replaced by better-evidenced engines.

• R1 simple-improvement studies (vol targeting, drawdown controllers, blends)verified · 2026-08-28Complete

  Closed: no variant beat the baseline after costs. Negative result recorded on purpose.

• Harvest strategy classified as decumulation/cashflow onlyverified · 2026-08-12Complete

  Not an accumulation-alpha engine; it schedules withdrawals, it does not add return.

• R2 Lite dividend-tilt researchverified · 2026-09-01Parked

  Parked: no dividend signal beat the equal-weight clean-payer baseline in 20-year tests.

• QVM Full / R5 factor enginesplanned · 2026-09-01Gated

  Requires point-in-time fundamentals data that is not yet licensed; provider assessment pending.

Promotion of research into anything customer-facing is blocked by database constraints and operator-only gates. The formal governance registry is designed but not yet applied.

• Shadow-candidate schema locks (promotion structurally impossible)verified · 2026-09-03Complete
• R0 governance registry designedverified · 2026-09-01Complete

  Design complete; migration deliberately NOT applied — awaiting operator approval.

• R0 governance migration appliedplanned · 2026-09-03Gated

  Requires explicit operator approval phrase.

• proof_grade = false everywhereverified · 2026-09-03Complete

  Nothing in the system is proof-grade yet, by design.

• tsm_ready = false everywhereverified · 2026-09-03Complete

  No strategy is cleared for any customer-facing runtime.

The critical backup gap found in the September drill has been remediated: fresh verified backup, restore-tested, offsite copy, nightly automation.

• Fresh backup remediation (create, verify, restore-test, offsite)verified · 2026-09-03Complete · caveats

  One restore-procedure caveat (serial-restore requirement) retested at the next quarterly drill.

• First automated nightly backup run verifiedplanned · 2026-09-03Pending

  First scheduled run is the night of 2026-09-04 (London); verification follows.

• Monthly report generator validated for the October cycleverified · 2026-09-01Complete

  Reproduced the published August mark byte-identically.

The portal shows a current interim product structure. It is not customer-ready: nothing is live, nothing is proof-grade, and no customer money is traded.

• Current interim product structure publishedreported · 2026-09-03In progress

  Product names and packaging may change before any launch; crypto and options components are roadmap concepts.

• Customer readinessreported · 2026-09-03Not started

  Not customer-ready. Not live. Not proof-grade. No performance is marketed as proven.

ProofSleeve is not a regulated investment firm and conducts no live client trading. Regulatory work is at the review-and-drafting stage only.

• FCA / financial-promotion compliance reviewplanned · 2026-09-03Pending

  Review pending; nothing on this site is a financial promotion of live investment services.

• Compliance wordingreported · 2026-09-03In progress

  Draft wording only; not reviewed by a regulator or external counsel yet.
