Research methodology.

How Stock Shorter turns source-backed AI-disruption evidence into educational short-side research without crossing into advice or execution.

Trust standardStock Shorter prioritizes original analysis, primary-source evidence, clear uncertainty, explicit risk framing, and plain-language education. The site is a publisher of research and commentary, not an investment adviser, broker, or trading system.

Source hierarchy

Primary sources carry the most weight: SEC filings, earnings materials, company disclosures, regulator education, exchange or clearing resources, and official product documentation. Broker education and reputable financial education sources can support mechanics, but company-specific claims should trace back to public evidence.

Short-side evidence quality

A short-side claim should separate business criticism from market structure. Stock Shorter looks for evidence of workflow replacement, pricing compression, renewal pressure, customer substitution, margin risk, and catalyst timing. A claim is stronger when it includes a clear counterargument and an invalidation path.

Educational boundaries

  • No brokerage execution or autonomous trading.
  • No individualized financial advice.
  • No performance promises or certainty language.
  • No instruction to trade a specific security or instrument.
  • Every short-selling education surface must preserve risk language.

SEO and AI search posture

Stock Shorter optimizes for useful, crawlable, source-backed pages: descriptive URLs, answer-first summaries, canonical metadata, internal links, structured data where appropriate, and original analysis that goes beyond commodity definitions.
