A Thermometer, Not an Analyst
Working paper placing a text judge beside a live trading system as a read-only signal, comparing Jev and Claude as blind headline judges.
This summary is based on how curated lists describe the project; its README was not available to review.
Overview
A working paper by Alex Vidovich that adds a text judge to a live trading system strictly as a reader: it measures headlines but never prescribes trades, hence "a thermometer, not an analyst".
It compares Jev with Claude as blind judges of news headlines and puts six gates in front of either before its output can influence action. It is aimed at practitioners thinking about how to let language models touch financial decisions safely.
