Conviction Requires a Process.
Anyone can publish an opinion. We publish a process — and the process is the product. Here is exactly how every King Research Group dossier is built, so you can judge the work before you trust the conclusion.
The Five Stages
Define the question
Every dossier starts with one precise, answerable research question and a written scope. If the question can't be stated in a sentence, the research isn't ready to begin.
Gather primary evidence
Filings, transcripts, regulatory documents, datasets, and original sources come first. Commentary and secondary reporting are treated as leads to verify, never as evidence.
Map incentives and dependencies
Who profits, who is exposed, what breaks if one link fails. Most bad analysis skips this step; most real insight lives in it.
Stress-test the thesis
Before publication, we build the strongest case against our own conclusion. If the thesis can't survive its best counterargument, it doesn't ship.
Publish conclusions, risks, and triggers
Dated conclusions with bull, base, and bear scenarios — plus the specific evidence that would prove us wrong, stated in advance.
Source Hierarchy
Primary sources outrank secondary sources, always. A company's filing outranks an article about the filing. A dataset outranks a summary of it. Where we rely on secondary reporting, we say so, and we weight the conclusion accordingly.
Date Sensitivity
Every conclusion carries its publication date. Research is a photograph, not a prophecy — facts change, and dated conclusions let you judge what we knew when we said it.
Scenario Construction
We publish ranges, not point predictions: a bull case, a base case, and a bear case, each with the assumptions that drive it. Certainty is a sales tactic, not an analytical output.
Corrections Policy
Every conclusion is published with its date and with the evidence that would invalidate it, so a reader can judge the reasoning rather than take the conclusion on trust.
Independence, Conflicts, and Disclosure
No covered company pays for inclusion, ranking, or a favorable conclusion. Advertising and commercial relationships do not determine the research outcome. Any holdings, compensation or conflicts are disclosed conspicuously in the content itself. Full details are on the Disclosures page.
Judge the Process Yourself.
The current dossier is built with exactly this discipline — and its thesis-breakers are stated before you buy.
