Methodology

Research is where the intelligence earns trust.

Before a system can make investment decisions, it has to do the work: read the filings, connect the evidence, test competing explanations and admit what remains uncertain. Pythia makes that process visible in every piece of research it publishes.

How the research is built

Five rules keep the work grounded.

The tools can change. These standards do not.

  1. 01

    Define the question

    Start with a clear question, time period and set of facts needed to answer it. This makes the scope—and what the research does not cover—clear to the reader.

  2. 02

    Use sources readers can identify

    Build the research from public sources such as filings, company materials, market data and reporting. Record source dates and limits so readers can judge what each source supports.

  3. 03

    Test other explanations

    Check important claims against conflicting facts and plausible alternatives. When more than one explanation fits the evidence, the published research should say so.

  4. 04

    Separate facts from judgment

    Make clear what comes directly from a source, what is an interpretation and what remains unknown. This helps readers decide how much weight to place on each conclusion.

  5. 05

    Publish what readers need to check the work

    Include citations, dates, relevant disclosures and visible corrections or updates, so readers can assess the work as it changes.

What readers can check

Nothing important disappears behind the answer.

Sources, dates, limitations and unresolved questions remain attached to the published work.

Sources

Published research identifies the sources supporting important claims and links to public source records when available.

Dates

Publication, update and information-as-of dates show when the research was current.

Open questions

Conflicting evidence, source limits and unresolved questions remain visible.

Accountability

AI conducts much of the research work. Published conclusions remain subject to human judgment and responsibility.

Research is the proving ground.

Pythia is built to carry this discipline further—from investigating an idea to forming a view and, eventually, acting on it.
