The user receive interactive information through the BackTest section. She can select a range of dates for which the backtesting is performed, portfolio asset weights, and rebalancing schedule. The App shows the key performace measures of the selected portfolio and comparison to pure equity and a 60/40 portfolio.

On 'Allocation Comparison' tab the user can compare the portfolio to optimal portfolios with the same risk or same return, and see the structure of the optimal portfolios.

Behind the scenes there is a penalizing optimization algorithm that takes the return and risk of the user portfolio and finds optimal portfolios with corresponding risk or return.
