RISKMYBOOK ALPHA
RISK PROFILES FOR US EQUITIES

Ten pillars. Fifty checks. Not one combined score.

RiskMyBook reads a company’s filings and its price history and returns 50 separate checks across ten pillars. Each check is one measured quantity, one verdict, and one named source. Nothing is weighted. Nothing is summed into a score — the counts are printed, and the weighting stays yours.

METHOD

How it works

Three rules, and they are the whole model. Everything on a report page follows from them — there is no fourth step hidden anywhere.

1

A check is a quantity with a verdict

Every check names one measured number — a volatility, a liabilities ratio, a filing count — and gives it one of three states. Never an opinion, and always with the source attached, so a flag can be reopened and re-derived by hand.

2

The verdict is the worse of rank and level

Rank asks where the number sits among 1,690 investable peers. Level asks whether it crosses an absolute cut. The check takes the harsher answer and prints which one fired, so you can disagree with it on its own terms.

3

Counted, never scored

The counts are never added together. We do not claim to know the exchange rate between a leverage flag and a tail flag, and inventing one would be the whole product’s central lie.

CONSEQUENCE Ten pillars with two flags each are not the same as one pillar with twenty. The radar shows the shape; the square grid under it on every report shows the same checks without distortion. When the two disagree, trust the grid.
COVERAGE

The current board

Fifty names in this build, ordered by how many checks sit in the risky band. The bar shows the split — red flagged, amber on watch, green clean. A longer red bar is not a verdict on the company; it is a count of measurements that crossed a line.

“The checks are not equally important, and we do not claim to know the ranking. That is why there is no combined score: any single number would be our weighting imposed on your decision.”
LIMITS

What it does not do

The limits are part of the product, not a disclaimer bolted to the end.

It does not answer whether to buy.

Every figure measures how far a name can fall, not which way it will go. A flagged check is not a sell and a clean check is not a buy.

It is not a timing signal.

We tested the intuitive reading directly and it came out backwards, so we do not offer it. The reading that peaked went on to rise; the reading that bottomed went on to fall.

There is no forecast of the business.

No analyst estimates, no price target, no view on demand for what the company sells. Everything here is measured from filings and prices that already exist.

Counting flags is a description, not a ranking.

Tested across 181 months, the flag count orders forward drawdown less sharply than the volatility percentile printed as the very first check. If you need one number to sort names by, use that one — not the tally.

PROVENANCE

Where the numbers come from

Every source is free and public, and every check on a report names the one it came from.

ALPHA. Research prototype — risk measurement, not investment advice. Prices research-only licence; survivorship-limited universe; sector taxonomy is SIC-based (GICS is paid). The universe holds only companies still listed today, so every percentile is computed against survivors and understates risk.
