Why we think it
Not just the conclusion. We write down what we read, which numbers caught our attention, and what assumptions we’re making. “Trust us, bro” is not a particularly useful research methodology.
What could prove us wrong
Every thesis has a weak spot, and we try to find ours before the market does. So we write down the one thing that, if we’re wrong about it, could make the whole argument fall apart.
What happened afterwards
This is the part that keeps us honest. If a thesis works, great. If it completely falls apart, the original note stays up, and we add what we missed, what changed, and what we got wrong.
Because a research archive full of winning calls is probably just a very carefully edited memory.
