From Research Plane to Live Desk: Controlled Promotion
A practical path for moving strategy evidence through review, paper trading, scoped live rollout, and rollback readiness.
The handoff is the product risk
Quant teams often treat research and live operations as separate worlds. The risk is hidden in the handoff: assumptions are translated into tickets, notebooks become deployment requests, and reviewers lose context.
Controlled promotion turns the handoff into a platform workflow. The same packet that starts in the Research Plane becomes the object risk and operations teams inspect.
A controlled path
The path can stay simple:
- Research agents produce hypotheses and validation evidence.
- Researchers attach rationale, exclusions, and review notes.
- Risk owners inspect limits, stress behavior, and rollback plans.
- Operators approve the next authority scope.
- The gate records the transition and remaining constraints.
Each step produces evidence that the next step can use.
The live desk sees state
The live desk should see what is active, what is paper-only, what is pending, and what can be stopped. AlphaSwarm makes those states visible so promotion is controlled after approval, not only before it.
