Research an asset, first unify the identity

Starting research with a name, the most common mistake is to overlook different versions with the same name. The top of the research card should first list the reference target, issuer, product type, token or contract identifier, chain or trading venue, and quoting currency. This will fix the interpretation of subsequent numbers.

Separate Fact Fields and Observation Fields

Fact fields include publicly available product information, version details, and official links; observation fields include price, transaction volume, spread, depth, or open interest, and each should be timestamped. Mixing the two will make dynamic data appear as permanent facts.

Set a Repeatable Recording Rhythm

You can record the same set of fields within a fixed observation window, rather than continuously adding screenshots from different sources. If you find price discrepancies, changes in activity, or information updates, return to the original pages of the issuer and trading venue for further verification.

Record Unknowns and Revisions

High-quality research does not pretend that information is always complete. Fields that are unpublished, unverifiable, or inconsistent should be clearly marked, and records of when the information was updated or revised should be kept.
