"Five Buffetts on every ticker" — what the desk actually does
The idea: instead of one model's opinion, every ticker faces several disciplined value-investor lenses — each with its own checklist — and the desk publishes the scores with the reasoning attached.
The lenses
- Quality — durable earnings power, moat, management honesty with numbers.
- Valuation — price versus earnings-power ceiling (two-stage method).
- Competition — where the moat erodes; who is taking share.
- Risk & thesis breaks — measurable conditions that falsify the case.
- Timing — STM Screener state, checked last.

Why panels instead of one score
One score hides disagreements. Panels surface them — a ticker can be a quality pass and a valuation fail at the same time, and that is exactly the information you need before sizing anything.
