# Contributor Benchmark

> This leaderboard measures research-engineering completeness, not returns, alpha,
> statistical significance, or deployment readiness. A high score cannot authorize trading.

Each card is machine-checked against a real callable or audited DSL expression, a cited
paper, an explicit point-in-time boundary, and repository test/example paths.
