1. Thesis before signal
SoloTerminal starts with why you own something. A signal without a thesis can become noise; a thesis without review can become stubbornness. The product keeps both connected.
Methodology
The SoloTerminal methodology
SoloTerminal is built around one belief: retail investors can improve outcomes when every position has a thesis, a risk boundary, a review cadence, and adversarial second opinions.

2. Multiple lenses reduce narrative bias
The AI persona panel is not there to imitate famous investors as authority. It forces different styles of reasoning to challenge the same holding: value, contrarian, macro, growth, and tail-risk.
3. Risk is a workflow, not a warning label
SoloTerminal keeps position sizing, factor exposure, catalysts, thesis age, signal credibility, and tax context close to the decision so review happens before stress arrives.
