Research integrity before idea volume
How Research Ideas Are Grounded
The selected excerpt is display evidence. Novelty is tested against the full available point-in-time disclosure record.
Bounded validation
2 published ยท 6 safe failures
Zero actionable trade views. Formal blinded human ratings remain pending.
Eight controls
From disclosure to analyst decision
Each stage can stop the packet. A plausible narrative is not enough.
- Full prior-filing searchSearch prior 10-K sections, full filings, earlier annual reports, 8-Ks, prior news, and current context.
- Atomic claim decompositionSeparate each factual proposition so unsupported content cannot hide inside a broader sentence.
- Financial-quantity normalizationAssign amounts an economic role, unit, period, conditionality, and paid/remaining basis.
- Novelty verificationFind the earliest eligible prior occurrence and state what changed and what did not.
- Counterevidence retrievalActively search for evidence that weakens novelty, mechanism, or instrument fit.
- Hypothesis generationRetain only evidence-linked, cautious, falsifiable research questions.
- Skeptical reviewTest the opposite interpretation, genericity, unsupported causality, and quantity-role conflicts.
- Analyst approvalKeep the final decision and notes local to the analyst workflow.
Trust checklist
What must be visible
Published packets expose evidence and limitations, not hidden reasoning traces.
- Complete prior filing searched
- Earlier 8-Ks checked
- Prior news checked
- Exact evidence shown
- Facts separated from inference
- Financial quantities assigned roles
- Counterevidence shown
- Falsification condition required
- Unsupported mechanisms rejected
- No position sizing generated
- Analyst review required
What this can do
Structure a research agenda
- Show verified evidence and novelty
- Propose a possible mechanism
- Define required data and falsification conditions
- Surface the strongest contrary interpretation
What this does not do
Recommend a trade
- No live generation
- No buy or sell instruction
- No position size, leverage, stop loss, or price target
- No claims of analyst approval or completed human validation
Public-safe guided example
One frozen RH hypothesis, five inspectable decisions
This compact view uses only the validated V2 public-safe contract. No V1 speculation or future outcome is loaded.
Complete prior disclosure context reviewed before the final novelty decision.
Investigate issuer-specific control or compliance changes; no incident is established.
Peer and control evidence should distinguish issuer specificity from boilerplate.
PASS_HYPOTHESIS_ONLY with no actionable trade view.
Current gate
The 60-case phase remains blocked.
Broader generation requires at least six of eight publishable packets, zero critical grounding defects in published packets, complete retrieval coverage, transparent safe failures, and a frozen methodology. The bounded V2 produced only two publishable hypotheses.
