+# Research Notes
+
+This directory keeps IBKR-side research artifacts that are still useful for
+current live strategy review.
+
+Live strategy behavior is owned by `UsEquityStrategies`, platform runtime
+configuration, and the snapshot pipeline repositories. Historical IBKR-local
+research files that used retired TQQQ, SOXL/SOXX, growth-pullback, or
+stock-alpha assumptions have been removed so they are not reused as current
+performance references.
+
+Current retained research:
+
+- `backtest_video_qqq_tqqq_dual_drive.py`
+- `results/video_qqq_tqqq_dual_drive_comparison.csv`
+- `results/video_qqq_tqqq_dual_drive_recommendation.json`
+- `results/video_qqq_tqqq_dual_drive_summary.md`
+
+Use `UsEquitySnapshotPipelines` outputs when reviewing snapshot-backed live
+strategy performance.
