Market fit
Volatility and market-regime fit
A strategy can be sensible in one volatility environment and poorly matched in another. Buying rich premium, selling undefined risk, or fighting trend all require extra justification.

The tool rewards regime alignment and normal/elevated-volatility awareness. It penalizes unknown regime, extreme volatility, or a setup that fights the stated thesis without a clear reason.
