The Gauntlet Has Spoken: Official Q2 2025 Rankings & A "Royal Flush" Opportunity

We believe that in an era of narrative-driven, "System 1" thinking, a rigorous, evidence-based process is the only reliable path to superior returns. For the past several months, we have been running four major companies, from cyclical titans to healthcare giants, through our proprietary 18-stage analytical framework, "The Diligent Hand Gauntlet."

The Gauntlet is not a simple stock screen. It’s a deep, forensic audit of a company's financial resilience, the character of its leadership, the durability of its moat, and the sanity of its valuation. It is designed to find the rarest of all investment setups: a world-class business that the market profoundly misunderstands.

Today, we are sharing the results.

Our analysis has uncovered a spectrum of quality and value, from a fairly-priced stalwart to what our framework identifies as a true "Royal Flush", a generational investment opportunity where every single one of our most critical metrics is aligned.

Tomorrow, I plan to share the first company deep dive for all subscribers as a free sample. Starting next week, most of the company analysis will be for paid subscribers with an occasional free preview.

The full, detailed rankings with our proprietary scores for each company are available for our premium subscribers below.
