Important limitations

This does not evaluate signal quality, custody risk, tax impact, drawdowns, or whether a bot’s reported performance is audited.

For best results, run at least three cases: a conservative case, a middle case, and a stretch case. If a small change in inputs creates a big change in the answer, that is a sign the decision may be sensitive to rates, fees, timing, or market performance.
