Evidence before narrative
A persuasive explanation does not outrank the published record.
Research charter
Market research, built to be questioned.
The charter sets the standard BottiAi intends to apply to published work and operational systems. It is a commitment to framing—not a claim of external audit or peer review.
Five principles
Ambitious questions. Restrained claims.
Research can be confident about its method while remaining modest about what the evidence supports.
Uncertainty is an output
Contradictory evidence, open windows, and missing information remain visible.
Boundaries are explicit
Training, out-of-sample evaluation, data cutoff, and version are reported separately.
No silent revisions
Material method and model changes require a new version and visible revision note.
Systems support judgment
They do not know a user's objectives, portfolio, or risk tolerance and do not replace accountability.
Operational consequence
The interface must carry the limits.
A disclaimer in the footer is not enough. Cutoff, denominator, open windows, contradictory evidence, intended use, and excluded use belong beside the result.
