We will answer three questions that are frequently asked in this series, all at once.

Introduction

This is the final chapter of the bonus edition of the Verification Journey. Over the course of nine episodes, we have conveyed the five tests of robustness checks, SQN, and our approach to information disclosure. Finally, we will address, in one place, the questions we have been receiving most often.

Question 1: How difficult is it to pass all five tests?

We will refrain from providing an exact probability in numbers, but as explained in the main part of the Verification Journey, the majority of candidate results fail in some part of the five tests. It is by no means guaranteed that a single candidate will remain valid until the end.

Question 2: If I pass the tests, can I relax?

No. As explained in Episodes 1 and 9, a “passed strategy” and a “winning strategy” are not the same. Robustness checks verify only that the good results within the range of past data do not appear to be a coincidence. They do not guarantee future market conditions.

Question 3: Is this method applicable to anyone in the same way?

What we have conveyed in this bonus edition is the approach our research institute adopts. The same concept can be applied in many validations, but the necessary refinements vary depending on the products handled, the time frames, and especially how carefully one verifies step by step.

What we wanted to convey through this bonus edition

In the previous Verification Journey, we conveyed the results themselves. In this bonus edition, we focused on the preceding stage that creates those results—namely, the mechanism of “how we suspect and how we confirm.” It’s not glamorous, but this quiet mechanism is the part we value most at our institute.

What you may have felt up to this point

Thank you for accompanying us for ten episodes. From the next article, we plan to deliver a new main line of the Verification Journey.
