Our mission

Inspiration: "Towards the science of security analysis"- Benjamin Graham

In future, we should be investing with a trustworthy tool and not experts.

The tool should look at every aspect of the data.

The tool should be affordable and efficient.

The tool should know what we have learned already.

... and it should keep learning
