Why this matters now
Many investors have already had a chatbot give a confident wrong answer about a stock and are now searching for a method they can actually rely on.
ThesisLoop research prompt
Research [company] with an AI method that starts from the company's own documents, requires a citation for every claim, keeps counterevidence alongside the bull case, and flags anything that cannot be traced to a source.
Start with this promptEvidence checks
Use AI where it is dependable: reading and extracting from primary documents, cross-referencing claims, and tracking changes over time.
Refuse AI output in its failure zones: price prediction, stale market data, fabricated numbers, and recommendation-shaped answers.
Start from the company's own filings, transcripts, and decks — not from what the model remembers about the company.
Never accept a claim that cannot be traced to a source, and keep counterevidence in the note rather than deleting it.
Research questions
Which parts of this research can AI do reliably, and which require human judgment or fresher data?
Does every material claim in the AI output trace to a primary document and page?
What counterevidence did the AI surface, and what did it omit until asked?
Where has the output drifted into prediction or recommendation language that should be discarded?
Public report examples
Use these published reports as examples of source-backed research structure: claims, evidence, risks, and follow-up questions. They are educational examples, not investment advice or recommendations.
