Track a Thesis

State the thesis, then ask for the evidence that would prove or break it. This is the highest-leverage way to use a monitor: instead of watching a company generally, you watch the drivers your position depends on.
The fastest route is the assisted flow — select a company, describe the thesis, and let Portrait propose the signals. Review and edit them before anything is created.

- My investment thesis is that the rapid adoption of AI will drive data center buildout, which will drive robust and growing demand for energy and power. Alert me to any datapoints that are confirmatory or disconfirmatory for this thesis. Note in particular any inflections in growth results, or revisions in expectations, related to data center buildout or demand for power.
Two things make a thesis monitor work: name the specific mechanism you believe in, and ask explicitly for disconfirming evidence as well as supporting evidence.
