Attack your thesis before the market does

Ten AI prompts that build the case against a stock idea before you commit to it. You found a stock you like. The story holds together and you've read the filings. So try to break it. The Stress Test AI Prompt Pack is 10 prompts that turn ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini into the person across the table arguing the other side. You bring the thesis and, ideally, the filings. The prompts bring the attack. The judgment stays yours.

Once you like a stock, you stop looking for reasons it won't work

That's just how brains work. Once you hold a view, the evidence that agrees with it jumps off the page and the rest kinda blurs. So the risks you skipped (the ones that didn't fit the story) are the ones that turn up later as the surprise. Often they were sitting in the filings the whole time.

And asking an AI "what are the risks of this stock?" doesn't fix it. You get a generic list: competition, regulation, macro. Push back once and it starts agreeing with you.

Ten prompts, each with one job

  • 1. Three cases against.The flagship. An AI assigned to take your thesis apart, with structure and receipts from the filings. Start here.
  • 2. Assumption x-ray.What your thesis quietly depends on, marked out so you know which walls are load-bearing.
  • 3. Short-seller memo.The bear case as a story, written the way someone paid to find it would write it.
  • 4. Tripwire converter.Each attack becomes an early-warning signal you can actually watch for.
  • 5. Kill-criteria sharpener."Competition intensifies" is weather. This turns it into an event you'd notice.
  • 6. Pre-mortem writer.The failure story, written in advance, while it costs nothing.
  • 7. Steelman the other side.The strongest good-faith case that the people on the other side of your thesis are right.
  • 8. Thesis stress interview.The AI asks, you answer, one question at a time. Where you hesitate is the finding.
  • 9. Crowding check.What the crowd already believes, and whether your thesis is actually different.
  • 10. Survival verdict formatter.The session becomes a dated, three-sentence record in your own words.

You won't run all 10 every time. A first pass on a new idea is 01, then 04, then 10. It takes about 40 minutes. Each reporting period after that, rerun 04 and 10.

What you get

Why it works

The structure does the arguing

A real bear case is tiring to build because you're arguing against yourself. The prompts hand that job to the AI with a fixed structure.

Receipts, or a flag

Attach the filings and every attack points to where it came from. Skip them and every claim gets marked unverified.

Close the window

Don't argue with the AI in the chat, it'll eventually agree with you. Take the attack, close the window, judge it cold.

Reusable on every idea

Run it on a new name, again before earnings, or on the thesis you're most sure about.

Standalone

You need an AI assistant and a thesis, written however roughly. You don't need Make Your Own Alpha or any other pack.

What it won't do: tell you what to buy, sell, hold or size. If an output drifts that way, throw it out.

The other half: finding the ideas

Stress Test is the back end of research. It attacks an idea you already like. The Shortlist AI Prompt Pack is the front end. It turns a theme or a hunch into two or three candidates worth your research time, with the homework attached.

+

Stress Test Pack

Find the weak spot while it's still cheap to find

Every stock in a portfolio started as an idea someone liked. This gives you a repeatable way to attack the next one first, and a dated record of what survived. $37, one time. Run it on every idea after this one.
