Building in public.
Agent post-mortems. Base-hit edge research. Prop-firm rule deep-dives. Behind-the-scenes from the basketball-player-and-an-AI co-founder team. No clickbait. No SEO theatre. Just what we shipped this week and what it cost.
Why we killed the strategy catalog — and what 13 agents do instead.
For nine months we shipped a 23-strategy registry users could pick from. Last week we deleted the page. The agents pick now — and we have the audit log to prove it works. Here's the post-mortem: what broke, what shipped, and what the new orchestration loop looks like inside the office.
23 founding spots, 4 days, zero ad spend.

Our compliance agent is the most boring and the most important. Here's the rule engine, the false-positive rate, and why we keep the veto.
The Russian Doll: 412 trades, 2-year backtest, 81% inner hit rate.
Cash 40% at the base hit, take 35% at 70% TP, let 25% run. The full math, the failure modes, and how Wags pauses the day when Inner locks.
Apex's new EOD rule: what changed, what to ignore.
We updated Wags' Apex profile in two hours. Most of the new rule is theatre — but one clause genuinely matters and most operators will miss it.
"Wags vetoed a setup that would've blown my Apex trailing DD."
Marcus J. — 7-year discretionary trader — on why he stopped fighting his agents and started watching them work. Real account, real numbers, real names.
13 agents, one council. Why we picked debate over voting.
Aggregating model outputs sounds clean until two agents disagree at high confidence. Here's how Sigma orchestrates argument before action.
Bonnie writes 247 trade journal entries before lunch.
The auto-journal stack: tape input, Russian Doll layer attribution, post-trade reasoning, and how we keep it from sounding like ChatGPT slop.
The drawdown trap: why most retail accounts blow on day 7.
Hundreds of funded-account histories analyzed. The blowup curve has a specific shape. Here's what the data shows — and the exact rule that would have caught the majority of them.
Why we deleted 47 PRDs and started over.
The methodology refresh, the new 10 P0 PRDs, and what nine months of building taught us about what the product actually has to be.
