+# Phase 2: PBO/DSR Metrics Validation Planning
+
+**Governance:** AGENTS.md v16.0 (Contract-first, Evidence-based)  
+**Date:** 2026-08-03 23:00 KST  
+**Status:** 📋 PLANNING (Contract Definition)  
+**Trigger:** Phase 1 completion (50-90+ days)
+
+---
+
+## 📊 CONTRACT DEFINITION (Before Implementation)
+
+### 1. DATA SOURCE
+
+**Source:** Job 893 Shadow Run Results
+```
+Location: Database table: model_operations.shadow_run_results
+Content:
+  - run_id: Unique shadow run identifier
+  - daily_returns: Array of daily return percentages
+  - trade_decisions: Buy/sell signals per day
+  - confidence_scores: Signal confidence (0-1)
+  - market_regime: Bull/Bear/Sideways phase
+  - timestamp: When result was recorded
+```
+
+**Availability:**
+- Start: Job 893 completion (~Oct/Nov 2026)
+- Format: PostgreSQL JSONB
+- Size: 252+ trading days of data
+
+---
+
+### 2. METRICS TO CALCULATE
+
+#### A. PBO (Probability of Backtest Overfit)
+
+**Definition:**
+```
+PBO = Probability that backtest results are due to luck/overfitting
+      rather than genuine predictive signal
+
+Target: PBO < 50% (ideally < 25%)
+Interpretation:
+  - PBO < 25%: Very unlikely to be overfit (EXCELLENT)
+  - PBO 25-50%: Unlikely to be overfit (ACCEPTABLE)
+  - PBO > 50%: Significant overfit risk (REJECT)
+```
+
+**Methodology:**
+```
+Standard: CSCV (Combinatorially Symmetric Cross-Validation)
+Simplified: Z-score method if CSCV deferred (DEBT-009)
+
+Steps:
+1. Split 252-day period into K folds (e.g., 6 folds = 42 days each)
+2. Test all combinations (C(K,K/2) = 20 combinations)
+3. Calculate variance across combinations
+4. Compute PBO = probability of overfit
+```
+
+**Implementation Status:** ⏳ DEBT-009 (Deferred)
+- **Option A (Full):** Implement CSCV algorithm
+- **Option B (Simplified):** Use Z-score on daily return variance
+- **Decision:** TBD (Phase 2 start, per CLAUDE.md DEBT registry)
+
+**AGENTS.md Compliance:**
+- ✅ Contract defined (no placeholders)
+- ✅ Success criteria clear (PBO < 50%)
+- ✅ Methodology documented
+- ⏳ Implementation approach TBD
+
+---
+
+#### B. DSR (Daily Sharpe Ratio)
+
+**Definition:**
+```
+DSR = (Average daily return - Risk-free rate) / Daily return std dev
+      Annualized: DSR * sqrt(252)
+
+Target: DSR > Baseline (typically > 0.5)
+Interpretation:
+  - DSR > 1.0: Excellent risk-adjusted returns
+  - DSR 0.5-1.0: Good (acceptable)
+  - DSR < 0.5: Marginal (borderline)
+  - DSR < 0: Negative returns (REJECT)
+```
+
+**Calculation Formula:**
+```
+daily_returns = [r1, r2, ..., r252]
+avg_return = mean(daily_returns)
+std_dev = stdev(daily_returns)
+risk_free_rate = 0.03 / 252  # ~3% annual
+
+DSR = (avg_return - risk_free_rate) / std_dev
+DSR_annualized = DSR * sqrt(252)
+```
+
+**Baseline Determination:**
+```
+Benchmark: Buy-and-hold S&P500 DSR (~0.6-0.8 annualized)
+Our target: Exceed benchmark by 50% (DSR > 0.9 annualized)
+Validation: Compare against KRX KOSPI index baseline
+```
+
+**AGENTS.md Compliance:**
+- ✅ Formula defined
+- ✅ Data sources specified
+- ✅ Benchmark established
+- ✅ Success criteria clear
+
+---
+
+#### C. OOS (Out-of-Sample) Performance by Market Regime
+
+**Definition:**
+```
+Verify signal performance across different market conditions:
+  - Bull Market Phase: Rising indices, positive bias
+  - Bear Market Phase: Falling indices, negative bias
+  - Sideways Phase: Range-bound, mean-reversion dominant
+```
+
+**Validation Matrix:**
+```
+| Regime | Duration | DSR Target | Pass Criteria |
+|--------|----------|------------|---------------|
+| Bull   | 40% of window | > 1.0 | Profitable in uptrends |
+| Bear   | 40% of window | > 0.5 | Protective (less loss) |
+| Sideways| 20% of window | > 0.7 | Captures range trades |
+```
+
+**Phase Segmentation:**
+```
+Source: Phase Segmentation model (already implemented)
+Integration: Query existing phase_classification results
+Expected: ~100 days bull, ~100 days bear, ~52 days sideways
+```
+
+**AGENTS.md Compliance:**
+- ✅ Regime definitions clear
+- ✅ Performance criteria per regime
+- ✅ Data source identified (phase segmentation)
+- ✅ Success metrics quantified
+
+---
+
+### 3. DATA QUALITY GATES
+
+**Before Metrics Validation, Verify:**
+
+```
+☐ Data Completeness
+  - No gaps in daily returns (252 consecutive days)
+  - No null values in key fields
+  - Timestamp alignment correct
+
+☐ Data Integrity
+  - Return calculations match expected range (-50% to +50% daily)
+  - Outliers documented and justified
+  - Signal confidence scores within [0,1]
+
+☐ Schema Conformance
+  - All required columns present
+  - Data types match specification
+  - Revision tracking up-to-date (published_at <= cutoff)
+
+☐ Traceability
+  - Each metric traced to specific trade decision
+  - Decisions linked to signal confidence
+  - Market regime correlated with performance
+
+Decision Rule: GATE PASS if all checks pass, else REJECT and debug
+```
+
+**AGENTS.md Compliance:**
+- ✅ Quality criteria pre-defined
+- ✅ Gate logic explicit (no subjective calls)
+- ✅ Failure mode documented (debug protocol)
+
+---
+
+### 4. CALCULATION PIPELINE
+
+**High-Level Flow:**
+
+```
+Phase 1 Completion
+        ↓
+Extract shadow_run_results
+        ↓
+Data Quality Gates (PASS/REJECT)
+        ↓
+Calculate Daily Returns

+Validate Against Thresholds
+        ↓
+Phase 2 Results
+        ↓
+Phase 3 Re-check + Phase 4 Sign-off
+```
+
+**AGENTS.md Compliance:**
+- ✅ Pipeline stages clearly defined
+- ✅ Decision points explicit (PASS/REJECT)
+- ✅ No ambiguous branching
+- ✅ Each stage has success criteria
+

+
+### 6. SUCCESS CRITERIA
+
+**Phase 2 Complete When:**
+
+```
+✅ All 4 data quality gates PASS
+✅ DSR_annualized > 0.9 (or justified exception)
+✅ PBO < 50% (or simplified method used with caveat)

+  3. Validate model assumptions
+  4. Document findings
+  5. Proceed to Phase 3 with caveats
+  
+If metrics fail:
+  1. Halt Phase 4 sign-off
+  2. Perform root cause analysis
+  3. Determine if:
+     a) Model needs retraining (defer to next iteration)
+     b) Shadow run had anomaly (rerun if fixable)
+     c) Metrics calculation error (fix and recompute)
+  4. Escalate to user for decision
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📋 DECISION: DEBT-009 (PBO Methodology)
+
+**Question:** Full CSCV vs Simplified Z-score?
+
+**Option A: Full CSCV (15-20 hours)**
+- Pros: Publication-grade, defensible
+- Cons: Complex to implement, time-consuming
+- When: If DEBT-009 resolved before Phase 2
+
+**Option B: Simplified Z-score (2-3 hours)**
+- Pros: Fast, reasonable proxy
+- Cons: Less rigorous, academic criticism
+- When: If DEBT-009 deferred to Phase 3/4
+
+**Current Status:** DEBT-009 on backlog (not yet started)
+**Recommendation:** Use Simplified for Phase 2, document limitation, defer full CSCV to Phase 3 if time permits
+
+**Decision Trigger:** Phase 2 start date (when Job 893 completes)
+
+---
