How we produce each analysis: data sources, frameworks, and evaluation process.
Each analysis passes through three complementary lenses before issuing a consolidated signal. This process ensures rigor, reproducibility, and transparency in every evaluation.
Calculates intrinsic value using Graham's classic formulas, evaluates the 7-criteria defensive scorecard, and classifies the asset as Investment or Speculation according to the standards of The Intelligent Investor.
Evaluates the presence and durability of the economic moat, calculates owner earnings with a two-stage DCF, and applies an 8-12 criteria scorecard inspired by Berkshire Hathaway's annual letters.
Analyzes real pricing power, competitive market structure, regulatory or subsidy distortions, actor incentives, and systemic risk from the perspective of Basic Economics.
Final synthesis that integrates all three frameworks into an actionable signal: BUY, HOLD, WATCHLIST, or AVOID, with explicit justification from each component.
