Validraft

Pricing

Scoped validation, priced before we run.

Validraft sells independent data analysis and validation, not investment advice. Every engagement is checked for feasibility and quoted before compute starts.

How quotes are built

Core validation
Explicit add-ons

Tier reflects delivery complexity, not report quality. Tier A, B, and C share the same descriptive standard; the difference is what has to happen before the run can be trusted.

Core tiers

Same report standard. Different delivery complexity.

Standard validation

Tier A

Most common

From €749

€949 business base

~48 business hours

Fixed-rule hypotheses that map to an existing live family and template.

One strategy, fixed parameters, one asset class, standard data, single symbol or template universe.

  • Brief review and light feasibility
  • Existing named template and fixed-rule validation profile
  • IS and OOS validation on the scoped split
  • Full validation gate stack for the family
  • Institutional PDF with verdict, limitations, model card, and lineage summary

No new code, custom data ingest, portfolio composer, optimization sweep, or monitoring by default.

Extended scope / research

Tier B

€1,500 – €4,500

Quoted after scoping

3–5 business days

A validated idea that needs richer data, more tickers, heavier families, or a bundled sweep.

Multi-ticker baskets, enhanced or alternative data, research validation profiles, or parameter exploration.

  • Operator scoping call
  • Lifecycle IS → validation → OOS where appropriate
  • Research-grade family profile and appendix when needed
  • Same report standard as Tier A
  • Optional optimization add-on bundled into a single quote

New data providers, bespoke strategy modules, or custom feature engineering move to Tier C.

Custom research / bespoke

Tier C

€5,000 – €25,000+

Milestone-based

Scoped per engagement

Novel hypotheses, non-standard data, custom joins, or pipeline work that cannot be productized upfront.

Custom data, new features, bespoke strategy modules, multi-leg portfolio constraints, or non-standard families.

  • Formal feasibility assessment
  • Signed brief and NDA available on request
  • Prototype run, validation run, and final report milestones
  • Custom strategy, feature, ingest, or adapter work where required
  • Same validation rigor, with timeline tied to data and code dependencies

Scoped in weeks, not hours. We only quote after feasibility confirms the work is possible.

What affects your quote

Four variables move the core price.

Everything else is an explicit add-on. That keeps scope predictable and prevents vague “research time” from becoming an open-ended bill.

Client type

Individual or business

Individual Tier A starts at €749. Business use, legal entities, investor-facing reports, or commercial use start at €949.

Family

Strategy family complexity

Standard live families fit Tier A. Data-rich families such as factors, sentiment, or alternative data add scope. Non-standard families are Tier C.

Data

Depth and quality of data

Standard OHLCV is included. Fundamentals, macro, sentiment, congressional trading, or custom features change the quote.

Universe

Ticker count and compute

Single symbols are base scope. Small baskets, scanners, and broad universes increase QA and compute work.

Add-ons

Optional modules, quoted separately.

Add-ons can be attached to a core validation or scheduled after delivery. They are never hidden inside the base tier.

Monitoring

Research-grade post-validation tracking against the report baseline. Descriptive alerts, never trading instructions.

Monitor Lite

€99/mo

1 strategy, monthly metrics refresh, email digest

Monitor Standard

€199/mo

Weekly refresh, four alert types, client workspace

Monitor Desk

€449/mo

Up to 3 strategies, weekly refresh, quarterly human review

Optimization & research sweep

For “what if we try other parameters?” requests after the core validation scope is clear.

Mini-grid

+€400 – €750

Declared grid up to 12 cells with haircut gate

Grid extended

+€750 – €2,000

Multi-parameter grid and walk-forward checks

Bayesian search

+€1,500 – €3,500

Declared run budget and objective from manifest

Re-validation & refresh

One-shot follow-up work when the same strategy needs a new descriptive deliverable.

Re-run frozen

€399 – €699

Same parameters, same strategy, extended data window

Monitor re-validation

€549 – €899

Fresh run against the historical baseline

Annual health check

€599 – €899

Comparative PDF for the same Tier A scope

Deliverable & commercial add-ons

Optional packaging around the report. These do not change the validation gate quality.

Report walkthrough

€150 – €250

15 or 30 minute explanation call

Investor-ready copy

€500 – €1,200

Sanitized extra pack for business clients

Rush Tier A

+25–50%

Approximate 24h turnaround when capacity allows

Feasibility check

Not sure where your idea fits?

Start with a small scoping product before committing to a full validation. We check data fit, family fit, blockers, likely tier, and what would need to be excluded or quoted separately.

Feasibility check

30 minute operator review, usually returned in 24–48h.

€99 – €149

  • GO / NO-GO scoped by data and family
  • Suggested tier and quote variables
  • Known blockers before compute
  • 100% credited if you buy Tier A/B within 14 days

Boundary

What we do not quote.

Clear pricing also means clear refusal lines. Validraft reports remain descriptive summaries of historical research and simulation.

  • Live order execution or managed paper trading
  • Capital allocation, ramp-up, or buy/sell recommendations
  • Real-time data freshness beyond the historical lake
  • Self-service minute usage; that belongs to NOVA, not Validraft
  • Crypto, FX spot, options, or Polymarket as standard products while those families are not live

Prices are indicative during pre-launch calibration and exclude VAT unless stated otherwise. Final quotes confirm data availability, universe size, delivery tier, add-ons, turnaround, and exclusions before any compute starts.
