Clarity for investors who put downside risk first

Stone Mayer Analytics evaluates durable businesses through a disciplined five-pillar framework. We combine primary-source research, valuation awareness and non-negotiable risk guardrails to identify potential long-term outperformers.

Risk is a four-letter word. Growth Isn’t.

How the classification works

Whole-number pillar scores, a weighted total and an expectation-reset downside ceiling.

A PERSONAL INTERPRETATION

My sleep-at-night scale

I love a good night’s sleep. This framework helps me understand what I own, identify what could keep me up at night and size each position accordingly. It cannot remove uncertainty; it helps me decide how much uncertainty I am comfortable carrying.

80–100Perfect sleep. I wake up refreshed.The research profile is strong enough that ordinary market noise does not usually change my view.

65–79.9A normal night’s sleep. I may wake once during the night.I generally wake up rested, but I remain attentive to the weaker parts of the thesis.

50–64.9It takes me a while to fall asleep—and it is hard to stay asleep.The uncertainties deserve closer attention and regular reassessment.

Below 50I won’t sleep at all.That is why I keep companies in this range to only a small part of my own portfolio.

Guardrail Flagged: regardless of the weighted total, one pillar at 4 or lower may still be the thing that keeps me up at night.

Decision Rules
