Total return
Percentage change over the defined period, adjusted for external cash flows where the data permits.
Review workflow
- Define the claim. Identify the person, account scope, period, currency basis, and whether the claim is personal, competition, model, product, or customer-account performance.
- Inspect the record. Check period coverage, equity continuity, deposits and withdrawals, closed and open positions, and data consistency.
- Recalculate the metrics. Compute the published figures from the available record rather than relying on a screenshot headline.
- Cross-reference external evidence. Link championship, regulatory, or administrator records where they independently support the claim.
- Publish with boundaries. State the source type, review date, and limitations beside the result.

Evidence levels
| Level | Evidence | Supports |
|---|---|---|
| Direct record review | Account or broker record | Metrics for the stated account and period |
| Cross-referenced | Independent competition, regulatory, or administrator publication | The result published by that source |
| Cryptographically published | Hash and trusted timestamp | Existence of material before a later outcome |
| Self-reported | Marketing copy, screenshot, or unsupported dashboard | No independent verification |
What a review does not prove
A reviewed historical record does not guarantee future performance, strategy reproducibility, liquidity, capacity, or identical customer outcomes. A person's result does not establish a product's result. A championship result does not become a personal calendar-year result merely because the same person produced both.
Corrections and versioning
Material corrections should update the human-readable page, structured dataset, feeds, sitemap, and AI-readable mirrors together. Withdrawals are logged on the corrections page.
