Do Not Use When

• The opportunity has no identifiable feedback loop.
• The trade cannot be expressed with clear invalidation.
• Liquidity is too poor to exit.
• The user wants passive long-term ownership analysis.

Inputs Needed

• Market or macro theme
• Price trend, positioning, consensus narrative, and policy backdrop
• Key economic or liquidity data
• Catalyst path and time horizon
• Trade expression, stop level, and risk budget if available

Process

1. Define the prevailing belief and the underlying reality.
2. Identify the feedback loop between prices, fundamentals, behavior, and policy.
3. Decide whether the loop is self-reinforcing, self-correcting, or breaking.
4. Test asymmetry: downside if wrong vs upside if the reflexive process accelerates.
5. Start with a probe if uncertain, add only when the market confirms.
6. Define invalidation and exit before sizing up.
