THE METHOD · PIPELINE v7.2APRIL MMXXVI

How the press works.

Every memo Dossier publishes moves through six deterministic pipeline stages. Each stage is auditable; each output is linked to a pipeline version hash. No stage uses an unreviewed model completion. No claim ships without a citation.

  1. 01
    Intake

    Accept a company URL.

    The analyst pastes a URL. Dossier extracts canonical host, robots.txt-respecting crawl surface, and known public filings by CIK / ABN. No authenticated private surface is ever touched.

  2. 02
    Extraction

    Lift every factual claim.

    Pages are parsed into structured claims with line-level provenance. Each claim is tagged by type (valuation, team, traction, competitive), scored for primary-source weight, and de-duplicated across the site.

  3. 03
    Enrichment

    Cross-reference public filings.

    Claims are triangulated against SEC EDGAR, Companies House, LinkedIn, peer reviews, and two paid tier sheets. A claim that cannot be independently verified is either flagged or dropped — never repeated as fact.

  4. 04
    Drafting

    Assemble five fixed sections.

    The same five sections every time: Market, Competitors, Team, Traction, Risks. Section order and argument structure are templated so analysts can skim, compare, and redline across memos at IC speed.

  5. 05
    Citation

    Attach a superscript to every claim.

    Every factual statement is wired to a source entry. Hover a [n] in the rendered memo to highlight the source, its quote, and the URL. Claims without sources do not render.

  6. 06
    Signature

    Sign the pipeline hash.

    The memo is frozen against the pipeline version that produced it. Re-running the same URL on a later pipeline produces a new hash. The signed copy at /signed/<memo-id> is tamper-evident and serves as the citable artifact.

What we won't do
  • — Scrape authenticated surfaces.
  • — Hallucinate competitive comparisons.
  • — Ship a claim without a primary-source link.
  • — Let the same pipeline version produce two different memos for one URL.
