Methodology

How AssetScreener knows — and where it can be wrong.

Plain-language definitions first. Evidence, calibration and mathematics afterwards. Every score must be traceable and challengeable.

The central hypothesis

Does change + pricing latency + propagation add information?

The engine is only differentiated if those signals improve on simpler price, sector, momentum and fundamental baselines in point-in-time, out-of-sample and live tests.

The core inference chain

Change → Transmission → Fundamental confirmation → Expected reaction → Actual reaction → Market Gap → Asymmetry → Red Team → Frozen thesis → Outcome → Learning

Canonical glossary

One definition everywhere.

Definitions remain stable across product UI, research, structured content and machine-readable summaries.

01

Market Gap

The estimated difference between how strongly verified change should affect an asset and how much market pricing appears to have absorbed so far.

Permanent definition link
02

Pricing Latency

The measured delay between a verified change becoming economically relevant and that change being reflected in the affected market.

Permanent definition link
03

Information Absorption

A structured estimate of which parts of a thesis are already visible in price, estimates, positioning and consensus expectations.

Permanent definition link
04

Propagation Path

The evidence-backed route through which one change can affect themes, industries, companies and traded assets.

Permanent definition link
05

Confidence Anatomy

A component view of evidence quality, causal strength, market confirmation, calibration and unresolved objections. It is not automatically probability of profit.

Permanent definition link
06

Red Team

The deliberate attempt to disprove a thesis, identify missing evidence and define what would invalidate it.

Permanent definition link
07

Proof Ledger

The permanent point-in-time record of what the system said, which evidence it used and what happened afterwards.

Trust & evidence contract

Facts, inference and interpretation stay separate.

FACT

Source-backed observation

A timestamped claim tied to a primary source and named entity.

MODEL INFERENCE

Computed estimate

A reproducible output with model version, inputs and uncertainty state.

INTERPRETATION

Research judgment

A clearly labelled human or AssetScreener Research interpretation.

Validation gate

No predictive edge is marketed before the evidence exists.

  1. Point-in-time integrityOnly information available at the decision timestamp.
  2. Out-of-sample testingHoldout periods and regimes not used for tuning.
  3. Negative controlsCompare against simpler baselines and shuffled relationships.
  4. Live frozen signalsPredictions recorded before the observed outcome.
  5. Permanent failuresWrong theses remain visible in the Proof Ledger.
