What it does

Not another AI chatbot

Outputs are pre-generated for every possible question on every stock, tagged and organized for screening — no fumbling with prompts, no waiting for answers.

One rubric, three lenses

Business Quality, Competitive Dynamics, and Risk — thirty-plus sub-dimensions applied identically to every company, so scores are comparable across the whole universe.

Rationale, not just a number

Every score ships with an in-depth written rationale grounded in primary filings and earnings transcripts, so an analyst can interrogate the reasoning instead of trusting a black box.

Enterprise-grade research

Latest frontier models with prompts meticulously crafted by buy-side analysts — institutional-grade output, already done.

Published accuracy testing

Independent verification passes graded claim by claim against primary sources — and published in full, including every error found. July 2026: 97 claims, 82% verified, 0 fabricated.

Stock of the Week

One high-conviction pick every week — institutional-grade research delivered free by email.

When I am looking at a new company, Baseline gets me 40% there in an hour. This process previously would take me days.
