"description": "Evaluates new alternative data sources for investable alpha signal —\nassessing data vendor delivery reliability and coverage, profiling\ndata quality (missing values, staleness, survivorship bias), performing\npoint-in-time correctness validation to prevent look-ahead bias,\nrunning univariate predictive tests against forward returns, estimating\nincremental information content versus existing factor library, and\nanalyzing regulatory/compliance implications of data usage. Produces\ndata evaluation scorecards with signal strength metrics, cost-benefit\nanalysis, and integration recommendations. Excludes vendor contract\nnegotiation and data infrastructure provisioning.\n"
