Strategy review helps the team see blind spots in the research chain: is the data reliable, is the sample sufficient, are transaction costs reasonable, is the drawdown explainable.
During review, the team examines code, backtesting logic, metric interpretation and risk management—not chasing headline numbers but understanding the constraints behind them.
When research can articulate strategy assumptions, portfolio impact and risk boundaries in institutional language, a quant project truly has a foundation for continuous iteration.
