abstract
Every numerical parameter in the production system is the output of the Q7 Precision Calibration Pipeline, not a hand-tuned guess. This paper documents the methodology: Gaussian-Process Bayesian Optimization for parameter search, Monte Carlo simulation for outcome validation, Combinatorial Purged Cross-Validation for out-of-sample honesty, deflated performance statistics, and producer/verifier separation with three-executor parity. A configuration ships only when it clears every gate; a strategy ships only when all sixteen of its configurations do.

Resolution & Scope-Lock
gate G0Before any tuning starts, the exact problem is frozen in writing — which market, which parameters may move, and what 'good' has to mean. This stops the classic trap of quietly changing the goalposts until the numbers look nice.
