# Backtest Review Workflow

## Purpose
Provide a consistent pass/fail review process for strategy backtest output.

## Inputs
- Backtest report (date range, instrument, timeframe, settings).
- Strategy version/commit reference.
- Risk and execution assumptions used for the run.

## Review Steps
1. Confirm run metadata is complete and reproducible.
2. Validate data window and session settings match test intent.
3. Review shared metrics vocabulary:
   - Net Profit
   - Profit Factor
   - Max Drawdown
   - Win Rate
   - Average Trade
   - Expectancy
   - Trade Count
4. Check risk behavior consistency (drawdown shape, loss clustering, streak behavior).
5. Compare against prior baseline and flag material regressions.
6. Record decision: `pass`, `pass_with_conditions`, or `fail`.

## Required Output
- Backtest Review Note with:
  - metadata,
  - metrics snapshot,
  - baseline delta,
  - decision,
  - required follow-ups.

## Exit Criteria
- Review note is stored with clear decision and rationale.
- Any follow-up actions are captured as tasks.
