personas

    pains:

    • A missed change in disclosure or a fabricated number can undermine an investment thesis.
  • title: Portfolio manager or head of research

    • Needs a repeatable process for identifying accounting or litigation risk.
  • title: Securities litigation partner
    pains:
    • Searching historical filings for inconsistencies and potential fraud is labor intensive.
