Research Methodology
Stock Analysis Desk separates market observations, model output, and user responsibility.
The research workflow is designed around evidence capture, paper-only review, source freshness, and point-in-time context rather than trade recommendations.
Evidence first
Research views are expected to show context such as data freshness, source quality, paper outcomes, backtest caveats, and whether a model has enough evaluated history to be trusted for research. A strong-looking signal is not treated as a recommendation.
Paper outcomes
Stock Analysis Desk emphasizes paper tracking and review. Paper outcomes can help reveal whether a pattern is worth studying, but they do not represent executable results and do not account for every real-world constraint such as slippage, fills, changing spreads, or emotional decision-making.
Historical context
Historical reports should avoid using live sentiment or current headlines for old dates. The research pipeline is designed to preserve sentiment and headline snapshots so backtests can be reviewed with the context that was available at the time.
Human review
Users remain responsible for reviewing any output, checking original sources, and deciding whether an idea is relevant to their own circumstances. Stock Analysis Desk does not evaluate a user's objectives, financial situation, tax position, experience, or suitability.
