Basic Questions
What type of person should seek professional investment help rather than DIY?
Graham was highly pragmatic — he knew most people lack the prerequisites for value investing:
1. Time cost: Deep analysis of one company takes dozens of hours
2. Knowledge barrier: Requires reading financial statements, understanding business models
3. Psychological fitness: Requires staying calm during market panics
4. Discipline: Requires strict adherence to buying/selling rules
If you're clearly deficient in any of the above, professional help may be warranted. But Graham also warned: learn to distinguish true professionals from 'commissioned salespeople.'

Usage Tips
Is the AI's 1-10 rating reliable?
⚠️ AI's "professional service assessment" helps judge if you need professional help and evaluate existing advisors, but AI itself can't replace professionals.
How to interpret:
- **8-10 (strong self-sufficiency)**: Your investment knowledge and discipline are solid, AI analysis is mostly sufficient
- **5-7 (can benefit from professional help)**: Some areas (tax, asset allocation) need expert guidance, AI helps you ask better questions
- **1-4 (strongly recommend getting help)**: Complexity exceeds your capabilities — find a fiduciary independent advisor
Graham distinguished two investor types: active and defensive. For defensive investors, seeking professional help isn't weakness — it's one of the smartest investment decisions.

Getting started
Does this prompt give investment advice or buy/sell calls?
No. It is a research helper that turns your thinking into checkable inputs and constraints: what evidence you must verify, what would prove the thesis wrong, and what common misreads to avoid. Treat the output as a draft, not a signal. Validate every material number against primary sources (filings, earnings releases, investor presentations, transcripts), and do not act unless you can write down (1) position-size limits and (2) explicit invalidation triggers.
What inputs should I provide for a reliable result?
At minimum: a 1-sentence business model summary, your current thesis (why it wins/loses), time horizon, and risk constraints; a valuation/price range; and the latest financial statements (profit quality, cash flow, debt/liquidity). Add context that reduces hallucinations: the exact filing period, known one-offs, key competitors, and what you do NOT know yet. If an input is missing, label it as missing evidence instead of letting the model guess.
Validation and boundaries
How do I validate the output?
Validate falsifiable claims one by one. Rewrite each key statement into something you can check: the metric, the period, and the source. Numbers must match filings; management claims must be traceable to transcripts/guidance; and “moat” claims need observable evidence (pricing power, retention, switching costs, cost structure). Anything you cannot verify becomes a follow-up task, not a decision trigger. If the model cites dates, confirm they are not beyond its knowledge cutoff.
When should I NOT act on the output?
If you cannot write down invalidation triggers, a position-size cap, or primary-source evidence for the key claims behind “Cherchez l Aide Professionnelle”, do not act. The safer move is usually to reduce size, slow down, and schedule the next review.
