Investor Desk guide

How to use Investor Desk

Choose a feature. See exactly what it does.

Every Investor Desk feature now has its own standalone guide with the real product screen, numbered explanations, a practical workflow, and a direct link into that feature.

Product manual

Complete workspace manual

Eight products, one decision path.

Investor Desk separates portfolio construction, company research, ownership evidence, market movement, news, earnings, and macro events into focused products. Home connects them without flattening their different clocks or purposes.

Product map

Know which view answers which question.

Move through the product in order. Each view has a distinct job and should not be used as a substitute for the next one.

01 / Orient

Home

What changed, and which product owns the next review?

02 / Understand

Research

What is the thesis, model standing, ownership evidence, and market context?

03 / Implement

Portfolios

What does the current dated model hold and how is it constructed?

04 / Prepare

Events

Which earnings or macro release can change the evidence next?

05 / Test

Builder

Does a rules-based idea survive a fair benchmark and robustness checks?

Screen anatomy

Read every field for its intended purpose.

The field, its meaning, and the decision it supports remain separate. This prevents a rank, forecast, range, or headline result from carrying more authority than it should.

Field What it means How to use it
01Product label

Identifies the feature that produced an update.

Use it to open the correct detailed workflow rather than acting from Home.

02As-of date

The date through which the displayed claim is marked.

Check it before comparing products that update on different schedules.

03Horizon

The common performance window selected for the comparison.

Keep every series on the same horizon before ranking outcomes.

04Benchmark

The S&P 500 path over the same displayed period.

Use it as context, not as proof that every product shares the same objective.

05Latest update

A concise, dated statement of what changed.

Open it when it changes a holding, thesis, event, or review priority.

06History control

Loads earlier updates in measured groups.

Use it to reconstruct context without turning Home into an endless feed.

Interpretation states

Know what the screen is asking you to do next.

A product state should lead to a specific research action, including the decision to do nothing when no new evidence deserves attention.

01

New product change

What it says
A roster, allocation, grade, conclusion, or event state changed.
Next action
Open the owning product and review the dated detail.
02

Market movement

What it says
Price Radar flagged behavior far from the security's usual movement.
Next action
Check range position, market backdrop, and confirmed news.
03

Scheduled event

What it says
An earnings or macro release is approaching.
Next action
Prepare the consensus, exposure, and decision before the event.
04

No new item

What it says
No current change clears the product's update threshold.
Next action
Do nothing. A quiet desk is a valid state.

Repeatable workflow

Use the same disciplined sequence every time.

The routine keeps the product useful after the novelty disappears. It also leaves a clearer record of what was known, what changed, and why a decision followed.

  1. 01

    Set one common horizon on Home and read the product paths beside the S&P 500.

  2. 02

    Scan Latest updates in date order and ignore unchanged products.

  3. 03

    Open the product named on the update rather than making a decision from the summary.

  4. 04

    Check the product's own as-of date, construction, evidence, or event clock.

  5. 05

    Cross-check the company thesis, quant standing, ownership activity, range, and event context only when relevant.

  6. 06

    Load older updates when reconstructing why the current state differs from an earlier one.

  7. 07

    Return to Home when the detailed review is complete; it is the desk map, not the final decision surface.

Plain-English glossary

Use the product's terms consistently.

As of
The latest date included in a displayed record.
Marked through
The market date through which performance or price context is calculated.
Model date
The effective date of a published rules-based roster or allocation.
Update
A material product change, not a repeat of unchanged research.
Review
A prompt to inspect evidence, not an instruction to trade.
Benchmark
A same-window comparison series used to understand relative path and risk.
Visual product guide

Four real workspace captures

See how Investor Desk turns products into one review routine.

Home is an orientation layer, not another feed. These captures show the product comparison, dated update history, and the same decision path on mobile.

01 / Workspace

Compare the products before opening the detail.

The comparison panel keeps each tracked portfolio beside the S&P 500 over the same horizon, while Latest updates shows what changed and where to continue.

02
A reviewable update history

02 / Mobile

The same front door stays compact on a phone.

Mobile preserves the product comparison and update queue as a vertical review path, with every item routing into the product that owns it.
