Morning Note
A consumer equity research app for retail investors that turns 'research NVDA' into an institutional-style nine-chapter report with sourced data, multi-method valuation, and a clear buy/hold/sell verdict.
Self-directed retail investors who want institutional-quality research without paying $5K per year for sell-side reports
- Nine-chapter reports (business overview, moat, financials, valuation, analyst views, catalysts, conclusion) on any US/HK/China ticker
- Multi-method valuation cross-check: reverse DCF plus scenario DCF plus relative valuation and SOTP
- Every fact tagged with source and timestamp; conflicts flagged and reconciled
- Watchlist of stocks with weekly research refreshes and alerts on material changes
The source GitHub skill proves the format with 110 stars and 25 forks in a short time; retail investors increasingly rely on AI for research, and sell-side reports cost $5K+ per year and are out of reach for most individuals.

Institutional report format has decades of staying power and retail AI investing is a durable trend, but the specific nine-chapter template is easily replicated by incumbents, and issuing explicit buy/sell verdicts invites regulatory/advice-license risk (FINRA, fiduciary exposure).Best Stock Analysis Tool Alternatives 2025 (Mega Comparison) ↗
The GitHub source skill already demonstrates the nine-chapter + multi-method valuation format works with Claude/Cowork; main build costs are reliable financial-data APIs (FactSet/Bloomberg-grade data is expensive), citation integrity, and a regulatory-safe way to phrase verdicts.Best Stock Analysis Tool Alternatives 2025 (Mega Comparison) ↗
