AI Models In Portfolio Management Risk Member  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] AI Models in Portfolio Management Risk. The Fund’s investment strategy relies heavily on the use of AI models that employ natural language processing and algorithms as well as machine learning, and the Adviser cannot guarantee that the AI models will perform as designed or intended. While all investment strategies are subject to certain risks, the use of AI models to inform the Adviser’s investment decisions introduces an additional layer of uncertainty. The success of AI models depends on the quality, reliability, and timeliness of the data input. If data is stale, missing, or otherwise inaccurate, the Fund’s investment decisions made in reliance thereon may lead to the inclusion or exclusion of securities in the Fund’s portfolio that would have been excluded or included had the information not contained such flaws. Technological advancements, regulatory changes, or newly developed AI
techniques could alter the landscape in which the AI models operate. In addition, a model’s signals may fail as a result of coding errors, inaccuracies supporting the model, and/or a cybersecurity breach. There are inherent risks in using predictive AI models, including the possibility that the model may produce unexpected results in volatile markets (or other situations involving market disruptions), which could result in losses to the Fund. Neither the Adviser nor the Sponsor can guarantee that the AI models will remain effective as AI and big data analytics evolve. The AI models used by the Fund may become less effective over time or may be less effective than newer technologies, methodologies, or investment sourcing and analyzing techniques. As a result, the AI models may be less successful in identifying investment opportunities or generating portfolio allocations that enable the Fund to achieve its investment objective. The Adviser and the Sponsor may rely on data from third-party providers under licensing arrangements. In the event these providers discontinue or materially limit access, or if the data is found to be inaccurate, the Adviser’s ability to implement the Fund’s investment strategy, and the Sponsor’s ability to run the Xplore AI Model, may be impaired. The Xplore AI Model’s use of automated natural language processing and machine learning may result in the selection of equities in the Eligible Universe that may not otherwise be included in traditional portfolio construction methods and may lead to a decline in the Fund’s value.
Equity Market Risk Member  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Equity Market Risk. The equity securities held in the Fund’s portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, acts of terrorism, market volatility related to global trade policy and the imposition of tariffs, the spread of infectious diseases or other public health issues (such as the global pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus), recessions, rising inflation, or other events could have a significant negative impact on the Fund and its investments. Such events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors and industries more significantly than others. Such events could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio securities or other instruments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets.
ETF Risks Member  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ETF Risks. The Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it is exposed to the following risks:
◦Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions.
◦Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid-ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.
◦Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant.
◦Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (the “Exchange”) and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for such Shares will develop or be maintained. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares, and this could lead to differences between the market price of the Shares and the underlying value of those Shares.
ETF Risks, Authorized Participants, Market Makers, And Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk Member

Risk [Text Block] Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions.
ETF Risks, Costs Of Buying Or Selling Shares Risk Member  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid-ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.
ETF Risks, Shares May Trade At Prices Other Than NAV Risk Member  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility.

There can be no assurance that an active trading market for such Shares will develop or be maintained.

Investment Company Risk Member  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Investment Company and ETP Risk. The risks of investing in other investment companies, including ETFs registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as well as ETPs registered under the 1933 Act typically reflect the risks of the types of instruments in which the investment companies and ETPs invest. By investing in another investment company or ETP, the Fund becomes a shareholder of that investment company or ETP and bears its proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the other investment company or ETP. The Fund may be subject to statutory limits with respect to the amount it can invest in other ETFs or ETPs, which may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Investments in ETFs are subject to the “ETF Risks” described above. Because the ETPs in which the Fund may invest may have a significant portion of their assets exposed directly or indirectly to commodities or commodity-linked securities, developments affecting commodities may have a disproportionate impact on such ETPs and may subject the ETPs to greater volatility than investments in traditional
securities. The shares of ETPs are not registered under the 1940 Act, and therefore, do not afford the Fund the investor protections of 1940 Act registered ETFs.
◦Commodities Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying ETFs and/or ETPs that invest directly or indirectly in commodities, the value of which may be affected by price movements of the underlying commodity, changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, and tariffs. The prices of industrial metals, precious metals, agriculture, and livestock commodities may fluctuate widely due to factors such as changes in value, supply and demand, and governmental regulatory policies.
◦Real Estate Sector Risk. The Fund may invest in underlying ETFs with exposure to the real estate sector and is subject to the risks related to investments in real estate, including declines in the real estate market, decreases in property revenues, increases in interest rates, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, legal and regulatory changes, a lack of credit or capital, defaults by borrowers or tenants, environmental problems and natural disasters.
Management Risk Member  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and may not meet its investment objective based on the Adviser’s success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund.
Market Capitalization Risk Member  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Market Capitalization Risk.
◦Large-Capitalization Investing Risk. The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion. Large-capitalization companies may also be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes.
◦Mid-Capitalization Investing Risk. The securities of mid-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of large-capitalization companies, but they may also be subject to slower growth than small-capitalization companies during times of economic expansion. The securities of mid-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than large capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole. Mid-capitalization companies may be particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates, government regulation, borrowing costs, and earnings.
◦Small-Capitalization Investing Risk. The Fund may invest in the securities of small-capitalization companies. The securities of small-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of larger-capitalization companies. The securities of small-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than larger capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole. Small-capitalization companies also may be particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates, government regulation, borrowing costs and earnings.

Risk [Text Block] Small-Capitalization Investing Risk. The Fund may invest in the securities of small-capitalization companies. The securities of small-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of larger-capitalization companies. The securities of small-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than larger capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole. Small-capitalization companies also may be particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates, government regulation, borrowing costs and earnings.
Models And Data Risk Member  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Models and Data Risk: The Fund relies heavily on proprietary quantitative models as well as information and data supplied by third parties (“Models and Data”). When Models and Data prove to be incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon may lead to the inclusion or exclusion of securities that would have been excluded or included had the Models and Data been correct and complete. Specifically, the Fund relies on the Xplore AI Model and the Adviser’s Scoring System to implement its principal investment strategies. As a result, to the extent either such system does not perform as designed or as intended, the Fund’s strategy may not be successfully implemented, and the Fund may lose value.
New Fund Risk Member  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors have no track record or history on which to base their investment decision.
Portfolio Turnover Risk Member  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may trade all or a significant portion of the securities in its portfolio in connection with each rebalance and reconstitution of the Xplore AI Model. A high portfolio turnover rate increases transaction costs, which may increase the Fund’s expenses. Frequent trading may also cause adverse tax consequences for investors in the Fund due to an increase in short-term capital gains.
Sector Risk Member  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Sector Risk. To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in particular sectors of the economy, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors.
Securities Lending Risk Member  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Securities Lending Risk. The Fund may engage in securities lending. There are certain risks associated with securities lending, including the risk that the borrower may fail to return the securities on a timely basis or even the loss of rights in the collateral deposited by the borrower, if the borrower should fail financially. The Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. As a result, the Fund may lose money.
•Tax Risk. As a RIC, the Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income each taxable year from certain qualifying sources of income under the Code. The income of the Fund from certain commodity index ETPs may be treated as non-qualifying income for purposes of the Fund’s qualification as a RIC, in which case, the Fund might fail to qualify as a RIC and be subject to federal income tax at the Fund level. To the extent the Fund invests directly in certain commodity index ETPs, the Fund will seek to restrict its income from such instruments that do not generate qualifying income to a maximum of 10% of its gross income (when combined with its other investments that produce non-qualifying income) to comply with the qualifying income test necessary for the Fund to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. However, the Fund may generate more non-qualifying income than anticipated, may not be able to generate qualifying income in a particular taxable year at levels sufficient to meet the qualifying income test, or may not be able to accurately predict the non-qualifying income from these investments.
Risk Lose Money [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund.
Risk Nondiversified Status [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Non-Diversification Risk. The Fund is considered to be non-diversified, which means that it may invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund. As a result, the Fund may be more exposed to the risks associated with and developments affecting an individual issuer or a smaller number of issuers than a fund that invests more widely. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively smaller number of issuers to have a greater impact on the Fund’s performance. However, the Fund intends to satisfy the diversification requirements for qualifying as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
