How it works
The whole system is built around one idea: make it impossible for us to fool you — or ourselves. Here's the machine, step by step, no finance degree required.
- Find candidates with math, not memory. Computers screen thousands of companies using measures that decades of research say actually matter — real profits, sturdy balance sheets, sensible prices. No hot tips, no headlines, no famous names.
- Blindfold the AI. Before the AI analyst sees a company, we strip the name, the ticker, and anything identifying. It's a blind taste test: judge the business, not the brand. We test the blindfold regularly by challenging the AI to guess who it's looking at — if it ever can, we fix it.
- Every opinion comes with a "what would prove me wrong." The AI writes a short case for each pick: why, with what confidence, and — most importantly — what evidence would kill the idea. Any analysis missing that gets rejected automatically.
- A referee does the buying. The AI doesn't control the money. A simple rules-following program decides position sizes, with hard limits it cannot exceed. No panic selling, no doubling down, no emotions — and no borrowed money, ever.
- Reality keeps the score. Every prediction is checked against what actually happened, on a fixed schedule. When we say "70% confident," we track how often those calls come true. That scorecard gets published monthly, good or bad.
Why a whole year?
Because short-term results are mostly luck. Any strategy can look brilliant for a month — a coin flipper wins half the time. One full year is the shortest test that means anything, and even then we'll report it with honest error bars. The target was locked in before the experiment started: beat our autopilot benchmark by a specific margin over 12 months, and beat the plain S&P 500. Both, or the experiment fails.
Why should you believe any of this?
You shouldn't have to take our word — that's the point of the design. Everything important is written down before it happens and sealed with a digital fingerprint (a checksum that changes if even one letter of the document changes). Our target, our rules, even our failed first strategy: all on the public record, timestamped, unchangeable. See the receipts on the Results page.
