Conductor, Backend Architect, Test Engineer, Code Reviewer, Data Engineer, Debugger, Frontend, Infra DevOps, Perf Observability, Security. same model, TEN DISCIPLINES 3. workflow gates - 6 phases with operator approval at every step. brainstorm, architecture, plan, build, review, ship. nothing writes code until you sign off on the spec 4. mathematical foundation - 4 models running in production. Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stat arb, Avellaneda-Stoikov market making, Hawkes order flow, Heston volatility 5. production architecture - 6 layers wrapping every strategy. data, signal, decision, risk, execution, monitoring. the 2 AM WebSocket disconnect can no longer silently kill the model 6. risk enforcement - Kelly-sized positions, 5% drawdown kill switches, delta-neutral hedging, intent blotter output. these numbers came from watching an earlier chatbot script blow through 12% in one session 7. validation gates - every strategy must pass Sharpe above 1.5, drawdown below 15%, hit rate above 55%, t-stat above 2.0, walk-forward across 5 years before any capital touches it 8. output layer - Telegram Bot pings my phone with instrument, strategy, Sharpe, drawdown, action window and Kelly-sized position the principle i built around from day one > capability without structure is a chatbot > the wall was never the math, it was always the six salary team i learned that one the hard way
