Sunk Cost Alarm

Would you buy it today at this price? Ignores your entry price entirely, builds the case from current price and current facts, then shows the gap between that answer and the one you are acting on.

What this template answers

Each item below becomes a heading in the AI response.

Stated cleanly: at today's price, with today's facts, is this a buy, a hold at current size, or not a position you would open?
What does the page change about the business itself, as opposed to the price?
Which parts of the original thesis are still standing, and which have quietly been replaced by new reasons?
The blank-slate test: if this arrived with no position attached, would it make the watchlist at all?
The reallocation test: against the other things available, is this where the next unit of capital belongs?
Where is the gap between the answer above and the action being taken — and what is the gap made of?
What would make the answer change, stated as a fact or a level rather than a feeling?
If the verdict is 'not a buy' but the position stays, what is the actual reason — and is it one worth keeping?
