The same test, with a person reading your work.
The $49 Engine Report runs sixteen shapes of rule through eighteen years of data and publishes a verdict either way. Most strategies people actually trade are not one of those sixteen shapes. This is what happens to the rest: an examiner translates it, reads the code, takes your history under testimony, runs the same engine, and signs the result.

What an audit adds
Three things the engine cannot do
Translation
Your rule, as it actually is
NinjaScript with three indicators and a “wait for a retest” that lives in your head. A rule that changed twice. A discretionary clause. The engine takes what it is given; the audit decides what to give it, writes the specification down in plain words, and gets your sign-off before anything runs. Neither flattered nor strawmanned. Then the same engine, the same coin-flip twins, the same unseen era.
Testimony
Your history, examined instead of declared
The Engine Report takes your lineage as a number you typed. The audit takes it from the files and the dates: how many versions, when, on which data. That number drives the adjusted probability, and it is where most self-deception lives. The audit also reads the code itself for look-ahead, repainting, and fill assumptions — the class of bug that manufactures fifty thousand dollars of phantom edge and a beautiful t-stat.
A name on it
A written record you can hand to someone
An audit record, a scored report, and a certificate with an examiner who can be asked why it was scored that way, and a correction ledger if the answer was wrong. Ten business days. The engine, the Protocol, and the rubric are the same ones behind every public teardown on this site; the difference is that a person is accountable for the translation and the testimony.
The record
What has been audited, and what it produced
Two audits have been completed under the Protocol: PA-26-0001, the examiner’s own premarket-reversal rule, audited by hand in August 2026 and then re-scored by the engine and published in full as Teardown TR-26-0003 (90/100, Validated, with the conflict of interest stated on the page); and PA-26-0002, a second rule of the examiner’s own, put through the same battery five days later and Rejected, 37/100: the era-consistency gate failed, and the record is private while the verdict is not. Same examiner, same rubric, both his own, 93 and 37. Five public teardowns have been published either way, two Validated, three Rejected. The Protocol is signed and versioned; every page says which version scored it.
If your rule fits the public form, submit it there for $49 and skip this page. The audit is for the rule the form cannot hold, or the person who wants the history behind a rule looked at rather than taken on their word.

Compare: a $49 Engine Report for a rule the form can express; a $50K prop-firm evaluation at $49 a month plus $149 on passing. An eval measures the trader for a few weeks. A report measures the rule for eighteen years. An audit measures how honest the rule’s history is.
Who runs this
One examiner
Joshua Berkowitz — Thinridge, a trade name of Edgeproof LLC.
I built about thirty rules of my own before I built the engine, and I ran every one of them through this test. Most of them didn’t earn a place in my account. One did, and it is published here with its score, its flat years, and the disclosure that it is mine. A second one of mine took the same battery five days later and was rejected; that is on the record too. The name is the job: a funded strategy is a thin ridge with real money falling away on both sides, and what gets you across is knowing exactly what is under your feet.
You can read the work before you hire it. On Reddit I am u/rebnach; on the Topstep, Apex, and FTMO Discords, @rebnach. The tables I post there come from the same engine as the reports here.
