4 LENSES · 10 FRAMEWORKS · 1 GENERAL-PURPOSE STRATEGY
The lenses we screen through
A lens is a way of asking a question about a business. Each one groups frameworks that ask it differently. Every framework is a fixed quantitative screen plus a fixed evaluation rubric the AI applies to the company's SEC filings — the same criteria for every subscriber who runs it. Alongside them sits one general-purpose strategy that belongs to no lens.

Durable returns on capital
Two depths of the same question — does this business earn high returns on capital, and can it keep doing so? — one quantitative, one read fifteen points deep in the filings.

Payout streaks that can continue
One discipline, applied strictly: dividend growth streaks matter only when the coverage, cash flow, and balance sheet behind them currently support the streak.

General Analysis
For portfolio holdings and one-off company reads, when you want the evidence organized before choosing a discipline. Same engine, same filing sections, same citation rules, and the same honesty about gaps. Instead of a named framework’s rubric, it applies a general, methodology-neutral one: business quality, financial strength, earnings quality and risk profile.
Belongs to no lens, because it is not a framework: it evaluates one named company rather than screening a universe.
- Portfolio holdings
- One-off company reads
- Methodology-neutral rubric
Framework names describe the method. Practitioner names appear only as "in the tradition of" attribution on each lens page. A verdict describes how well a company matches the selected framework — it is never an action to take.
