# Money Mind Judge Lite — Backtest Validity Evaluator

> Money Mind Judge Lite — Backtest Validity Evaluator is a paid API for AI agents from money-mind-extract.onrender.com, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-16).

Runs three statistical validity gates (selection correction, deflated Sharpe, date-clustered t-test) on a return series to verdict whether it is a genuine edge or a lucky artifact of multiple testing.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability money-mind-judge-lite-backtest-validity-evaluator-c2d5a7cb -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I just ran 50 backtests and this one looks great with a Sharpe of 2.1 — can you check whether it's actually real or just the luckiest of those 50 tries? Here are the monthly returns from 2018-01-01 to 2023-12-31.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you have a single candidate backtest or return series that needs rapid multi-gate statistical validation — especially when the number of strategies tested (n_tested) is known and you want selection correction, deflated Sharpe, and date-clustering in one paid call at $0.05. Prefer this over the $0.01 selection-only sibling when you want the full three-gate verdict. Use the bulk triage sibling instead when screening hundreds of backtests simultaneously.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing return series — request rejected before charge
- n_tested not declared — selection correction cannot run
- Insufficient data points for meaningful statistical tests — refused with explanation
- Malformed JSON body — 400 error returned before payment
- Network timeout on Render cold-start — retry recommended

## How this service works

Is this backtest, strategy or DeFi result real, or the luckiest of N tries — selection, Sharpe and clustering in one verdict, built for trading agents. Use when your agent has a backtest, a research result, or any return series that looks good — and needs to know whether it is real or the luckiest of N tries before spending money on it. One call runs the three cheapest high-signal gates: selection correction (family-wise p across your declared n_tested), deflated Sharpe, and date-clustered t. Verdict REAL means every gate passed; PROVISIONAL means the selection gates passed but no dates were given, so clustering is unchecked — never REAL; NO names the gate that killed it. Bad input is refused before payment, never charged. Money Mind sells judges, not strategies. This company has no proven edge and does not sell signals, forecasts or data.

## Output

A verdict of REAL (all three gates passed), PROVISIONAL (selection gates passed but no dates provided so clustering unchecked), or NO (with the name of the specific gate that failed). Accompanied by gate-level statistics: family-wise corrected p-value, deflated Sharpe ratio, and date-clustered t-statistic where applicable.
