Posts here apply the Prompt Stack — the four-stage structure I run before AI gets a say in an investing decision: ROLE, FILTER, RISK, VERDICT. The full method, and the reasoning behind each stage, lives at /prompt-stack. These posts are the method at work on specific decisions.
The pattern in each one is the same. A real decision — an earnings release I'm holding through, a covered call I'm about to sell — then the exact prompt I ran, what the model returned, and where the output still needed checking. The prompts are written to be copied; square-bracket placeholders mark what you fill in.
If you're new to the method, the single prompt change is the right entry point: one paragraph that stops AI collapsing facts and inferences into the same confident answer. The rest of these posts build on that idea, one decision at a time.
