A single sentence turns into a disciplined, risk-audited allocation — no spreadsheets, no separate tools. This walkthrough chains a plain-English screen through chaining, a strategy backtest, three independent AI analyst lenses, a risk audit, and an automated allocation.

The Six Steps

1. Describe the idea in plain English

1
Type "profitable mid-caps with low debt and strong momentum" into AI Screen. Finmagine interprets it into concrete filters — mid-cap by market cap, debt-to-equity under a threshold, profitable across most of the last decade, and an RS Rating floor for momentum — and returns a real results table.

2. Chain a named preset

2
Click Refine These Results and layer Quality Compounders on top of the AI Screen's output — narrowing the field without starting over. The chain breadcrumb tracks both steps.

3. Check the strategy's own backtest

3
Because Quality Compounders is a named preset, it carries its own Backtest panel — a track record of the strategy itself against the Nifty over the last 90 days, not just today's picks.

4. Send a shortlist to the Investment Committee

4
Check 1–5 rows and click Committee. The shortlist runs through three independent AI lenses — Quality Compounder, India Growth, and Value & Safety — plus a Chairman that weighs where they disagree and writes a bull-and-bear case for each stock.
A real committee run: 4 of 5 stocks bullish on both Quality Compounder and India Growth lenses, with Value and Safety holding a neutral stance across the board
A real committee run — 4 of 5 stocks bullish on quality and growth, Value & Safety stays neutral across the board.

5. Run a Risk Audit

5
The Risk Audit checks portfolio risk score, annualized volatility, and sector concentration — surfacing flags like two sectors each carrying 40% of the shortlist.

6. Generate the allocation

6
The final step turns conviction and risk scores into a position-weighted allocation book — in this run, all five names cleared the bar and each received an equal 20% weight.
Risk Audit shows a Portfolio Risk Score of 3.7 out of 10 and 21% annualized volatility, below the Nifty's own volatility, with concentration flags of 40% Consumer Discretionary and 40% Industrials; the Allocation Book shows all 5 names clearing the conviction bar and receiving an equal-weight 20% each
Risk Audit and automated allocation — all 5 names cleared the bar, so each gets an equal 20% weight.
What the Committee adds that the Screener can't: the Screener filters 6,000+ stocks by ratio thresholds — a quantitative pass. The Committee evaluates a shortlist of 1–5 stocks through three qualitative lenses and decides which is actually worth your attention, and in what order.

🇺🇸 Now Live for US Markets

The same plain-English-to-allocation pipeline now runs end to end on US stocks too — and the US Investment Committee actually carries more context than the India version, not less: a live news/sentiment feed and macro signals layered on top of the same three-lens review.

Diagram: The Unified Investment Selection Pipeline, From Idea to Allocation. AI-Powered Screening converts plain English queries into concrete financial filters. Backtest Transparency shows the Fortress Balance Sheet preset at -2.4% alpha vs S&P 500 with a 31.4% win rate. A 0.584 sentiment score for Danaos is integrated via Alpha Vantage. Risk Audit Flags show 50% concentration risk in Energy and 28.8% annualized volatility. Risk-Audited Allocation distributes weight equally across Danaos, Teekay Tankers, DHT Holdings, and MarketAxess at 20% each while retaining 20% in cash
The US workflow at a glance: one plain-English query, chained and audited all the way to a risk-adjusted allocation.

1. Describe the idea in plain English (US)

1
Type "profitable mid-caps with low debt and strong momentum" into AI Screen on the US Screener. Finmagine interprets it into concrete filters — mid-cap size, low leverage, consistent profitability, and a momentum floor — and returns nine real companies.
Diagram: The Translation Matrix, Plain English to Concrete Logic. Input: 'profitable mid-caps with low debt and strong momentum'. The AI Parser breaks this into profitable, mid-caps, low debt, and strong momentum. Output: Mid Cap Size, Low Leverage, Consistent Profitability, and Momentum Floor filters, returning 9 US Stocks
AI Screen turns one plain-English sentence into four concrete filters — nine real US stocks matched.

2. Chain a named preset (US)

2
Click Refine These Results and layer Fortress Balance Sheet on top of the AI Screen's output — narrowing the field without starting over. The nine candidates narrow to four: Danaos, Teekay Tankers, DHT Holdings, and MarketAxess.
Diagram: Seamless Refinement, Chaining Institutional Presets. A funnel labeled Fortress Balance Sheet Preset narrows results down to four companies: Danaos (DAC), Teekay Tankers (TNK), DHT Holdings (DHT), and MarketAxess (MKTX). Callout: Refine these results by chaining a named preset on top, no need to start over
Fortress Balance Sheet chained on top of the AI Screen results — nine names down to four.

3. Check the strategy's own backtest (US)

3
Because Fortress Balance Sheet is a named preset, it carries its own Backtest panel — a real track record against the S&P 500 over the last 90 days: a 31.4% win rate and −2.37% alpha. Not every strategy is working right now, and that's exactly why you check it before trusting it.
Diagram: The Truth Gauge, Embedded Backtesting. 31.4% Win Rate. -2.37% Alpha vs S&P 500 (90 Days). Because Fortress Balance Sheet is a named preset, it carries its own backtest. Not every strategy is working right now, and that's exactly why you check
The preset's own 90-day backtest — an honest, currently-underperforming number, not cherry-picked.

4. Send the shortlist to the Investment Committee (US)

4
Check the four rows and click Committee. The shortlist runs through three independent AI lenses — Quality Compounder, US Growth, and Value & Safety — plus a Chairman that weighs where they disagree and writes a bull-and-bear case for each stock.
Diagram: The AI Boardroom, Multi-Lens Scrutiny. Quality Compounder, US Growth, and Value & Safety lenses all analyze DAC, TNK, DHT, MKTX, with the Chairman weighing where they disagree. Three independent lenses analyze the cohort, a Chairman weighs where they disagree, ensuring non-consensus, rigorous evaluation
Three independent lenses plus a Chairman — built to surface disagreement, not manufacture consensus.

5. US-only: live sentiment and macro context

5
For US stocks, the Committee can pull in two context layers that India's version doesn't have: your own Alpha Vantage news/sentiment feed, and macro context — Fed rate, VIX, and the yield curve. On Danaos, the bull case cites a real 30-day article sentiment score of 0.584 and constructive shipping sentiment on Hormuz capacity — a genuinely live data layer, not a static ratio.
Diagram: The Context Injector, US-Specific Macro and Sentiment. Fed Rate, VIX, and the Yield Curve feed into Danaos (DAC) Fundamentals. 0.584 Real 30-Day Article Sentiment. Constructive shipping sentiment on Hormuz capacity. The Committee dynamically pulls in proprietary Alpha Vantage news feeds and macro indicators, context unavailable in localized versions
Fed rate, VIX, yield curve, and a real 0.584 sentiment score for Danaos — US-only context layers.

6. Run a Risk Audit (US)

6
The Risk Audit checks portfolio risk score, annualized volatility, and sector concentration — surfacing a 4.8/10 risk score, 28.8% annualized volatility, and a 50% concentration flag in Energy for this shipping-heavy shortlist.
Diagram: The Risk Audit, Hardening the Portfolio. 4.8/10 Overall Risk Score. 28.8% Annualized Volatility. 50% Concentration Flag in Energy. Before allocation, the system runs a structural diagnostic, identifying critical vulnerabilities like the 50% energy sector overexposure
A real structural diagnostic — 50% Energy concentration flagged before a single dollar is allocated.

7. Generate the allocation (US)

7
The final step turns conviction and risk scores into a position-weighted allocation — in this run, mixed verdicts meant the model didn't force conviction: all four names received an equal 20% weight, with the remaining 20% held in cash rather than fully deployed.
Diagram: Intelligent Allocation, Sizing for Conviction. A donut chart showing 20% DAC, 20% TNK, 20% DHT, 20% MKTX, and 20% Cash. Generate the allocation, and the model pulls back to 20% cash rather than force conviction that isn't there
20% each across the four names, plus 20% cash — the model pulling back rather than forcing conviction.
This is not cherry-picked consensus: the committee produced mixed, mostly neutral verdicts across all four stocks, flagged real concentration risk, and the allocation model responded by holding cash instead of manufacturing an all-in result. That honesty is the point of running a Risk Audit and Allocation step at all.
