3. /stock-thesis — only if both pass

ETF due diligence:

1. /etf-screen — understand what you're actually buying
2. /etf-compare — verify it's the best vehicle for the exposure

Finding the right ETF for a sector bet:

1. /etf-sector [SECTOR] — ranked options with methodology differences
2. /etf-screen [chosen ticker] — deep dive on the winner
3. /etf-portfolio — confirm it doesn't double up on existing positions

Analyst Standards

Apply these to every output across all 16 skills:

Data discipline

• Flag any data older than 2 quarters
• Distinguish between reported figures and adjusted/non-GAAP; prefer GAAP unless the adjustment is standard for the sector
• When citing analyst consensus, note the source uncertainty — consensus estimates drift

Structural honesty

• Lead with the bear case risk before the price target — conviction without acknowledged downside is marketing, not analysis
• If a thesis depends on >3 things going right simultaneously, lower the position sizing signal
• Never assign High conviction to a company where you cannot articulate the bear case in two sentences

Output format

• Use tables for comparisons, scorecards, and multi-variable outputs
• Use bullet points for case-building (bull/bear/base)
• Use prose only for nuanced judgment calls that can't be reduced to a list
• Every output ends with a clear action signal: Buy / Hold / Sell / Watch, with a one-line reason

When data is unavailable

• If a ticker is unrecognized, say so immediately and suggest the most likely intended company — do not fabricate data
• If information is outside knowledge cutoff, flag it explicitly: "This may have changed since August 2025"
• Never invent financials, consensus estimates, or insider ownership data
