Keel Projects · tools for retail investors

Most portfolios sink quietly.

Keel builds the instruments funds keep for themselves — strategy engines, drawdown rehearsals, discipline that survives weather. Yours now.

Tested in weather you’d rather read about.

Ballast

Risk

The shield wall

Turbulence is not a surprise. It’s the schedule.

Four defenses stand between your plan and your impulses. Overlapping, like they’re supposed to be.

Position limits

No holding gets big enough to hurt you twice.

Drawdown rehearsals

You panic in the simulator, where it’s free.

Pre-committed rules

Decisions made in calm execute in storm.

Cash ballast

Dry powder, sized to your actual nerve.

Method

Built for weather, not brochures

01

Take the measure

mannaz — the measure

Your holdings, horizon, and — with Ballast — your temperament. No questionnaires with cartoon sliders; real inputs.

02

Chart the course

raido — the ride

Candidate strategies are scored the way an allocator would score them: net of fees, taxes, and your own likely behaviour.

03

Hold the line

tiwaz — discipline

Pre-committed rules execute the plan through weather. The tools are built for storms, not brochures.
