Decision Framework

Routing decisions automate phase transitions by evaluating backtest, optimization, and validation results against thresholds. The Decision Framework reads criteria from iteration_state.json and PROJECT_LOGS to output explicit routing decisions and next-phase actions, eliminating manual evaluation.

The framework reads phase-specific thresholds from iteration_state.json and evaluation results from PROJECT_LOGS. It applies these criteria to determine whether to proceed to the next phase or escalate, ensuring consistent, criteria-driven routing without manual intervention.

Yes. The framework provides phase-specific commands—evaluate-backtest, evaluate-optimization, and evaluate-validation—that load only necessary logic per phase. This progressive disclosure ensures speed and reliability across different evaluation contexts.

Run `venv/bin/python SCRIPTS/decision_cli.py evaluate-backtest --results PROJECT_LOGS/backtest_result.json --state iteration_state.json`. The CLI reads your results and thresholds, then outputs routing decisions and next-phase actions.

When results fall below thresholds, the framework escalates rather than proceeding to the next phase. This explicit escalation outcome surfaces decision criteria clearly, allowing review before manual intervention or workflow adjustment.
