Complexity vs Empirical Score

• Math Complexity: 2.0/10
• Empirical Rigor: 5.5/10
• Quadrant: Street Traders

Its empirical rigor is moderate because it uses a structured questionnaire and primary data collection for backtest-like analysis of investor behavior, though it lacks high-frequency data or algorithmic implementation.
