Every number in the note opens to the filing it came from.
Work from filings, releases, technical reports and your previous research to prepare a cited first draft. Keep the evidence close as you review the note; the rating and target stay with the analyst whose name is on it.

The Reading Supports The Analyst’s View
Work from filings, releases and technical reports, with citations that let you review the source of a figure. For a comparable-company analysis, check the earnings definition, debt treatment and period behind each multiple. The published view, rating and target remain the analyst’s work.
Ask The Question A Standard Screen Misses
Turn a coverage question into a grid column and apply it across the chosen companies. Compare the answers beside their source documents, then reuse the question set next period. Review non-disclosure and missing evidence separately from a negative answer.
The Previous Note Belongs In The Research
Collect company documents and the desk’s previous published work in a selected room. Ask how the new evidence compares with the assumptions behind the last note. Keeping the source set explicit makes it easier to see what changed and what still needs to be researched.
Agree The Research Access Boundary
Choose which internal work belongs in the research collection and who should be able to use it. AllMind provides access controls and team-managed sharing; a firm with separate research and banking responsibilities should review its required information barriers as part of the setup.
The reading, done before the writing.
Six jobs, in the order they land.
From overnight developments to the morning discussion
Schedule a brief around the chosen coverage and available sources. Summarize the developments, identify peer read-throughs worth checking and keep the references with the result. The analyst brings the interpretation to the meeting.
Compare AI tools for sell-side researchBuild the industry view before the company note
Research the industry, peer group and economic drivers before settling the valuation assumptions. Keep questions for management alongside the unresolved evidence. Use that work to prepare the initiation outline and supporting model, rather than treating the first draft as a finished opinion.
Choose AI tools for company and sector deep divesPrepare the quarterly note in your own structure
Read the release, MD&A and call against the expectations available beforehand. Draft the review in the desk’s format, with the important variances and management statements tied to their sources. Check the definitions and complete the analyst’s conclusion before publication.
Compare tools for interpreting peer earningsAsk why the documents disagree
Compare the fact sheet, presentation and filings for differences in share counts, financial definitions and business claims. Turn a discrepancy into a specific question for the issuer, with the passages that prompted it. A mismatch is a reason to investigate, not an automatic finding of misconduct.
Return to the names you cannot read every day
Run a recurring review of the chosen universe for financings, strategic developments and other events relevant to the rating. Retain the source references so the analyst can move from the brief into the full document when an item matters.
Keep the thematic universe grounded in disclosures
Define the theme and gather the relevant company documents. Compare the same questions across the selected names, checking whether an old exposure has been sold, reduced or discontinued. Reuse the structure for the next survey while updating its evidence.
