About
ABSA is a framework, not a service.
The American Bulletin of Stock Analysis (ABSA) is a filings-first forensic framework designed to evaluate corporate financial structure with definitional discipline and interpretive constraint. It exists to reduce the common failure mode of modern analysis: conclusions formed before admissibility is established.
ABSA publishes conceptual doctrine publicly. Operational doctrine is disclosed only in The Forensic Lexicon (Vol. I).
Definition
What ABSA is.
- Filings-first. Evidence is derived from audited statements and disclosures.
- Constraint-driven. Obligations outrank narratives; definitions outrank impressions.
- Non-predictive. ABSA does not forecast outcomes or price behavior.
- Forensic in posture. It measures structural survivability, not optimism.
ABSA’s public library is intentionally non-operational. Its purpose is to establish interpretive boundaries.
Non-Claims
What ABSA does not do.
- It does not issue buy/sell recommendations.
- It does not publish price targets or fair value estimates.
- It does not substitute liquidity for solvency.
- It does not reduce structure to a single “magic ratio.”
Readers seeking forecasts, signals, or market timing will find the Bulletin unsuitable by design.
Origin
Why the Bulletin exists.
Modern financial commentary frequently rewards certainty over admissibility. ABSA exists to impose a prior question: is the structure analyzable without category error? The framework treats definitional discipline as the first line of defense against false precision. Where definitions drift, conclusions multiply without justification.
Primary Focus
Structural Solvency
Endurance under stress without forfeiting discretion.
Primary Source
SEC Filings
Audited statements and binding disclosures, not commentary.
Primary Defense
Defined Language
Formal vocabulary to prevent interpretive drift.
ABSA’s operational doctrine is not published as a series of web posts. It is disclosed as a controlled document: Vol. I.
Primary Document
The Forensic Lexicon (Vol. I) is the operational record.
The Bulletin establishes conceptual boundaries and interpretive discipline. The Lexicon discloses the operational doctrine—formal definitions, normalization, classification governance, and conditions of stoppage— in a single controlled document.
