Method Stack

How Nakamoto research should work.

Sources

Primary source first.

Start with filings, official documents, datasets, company pages, regulator pages, and original announcements.

Evidence

Rank evidence quality.

Separate direct evidence, expert interpretation, media summaries, social claims, and speculation.

Bias

Check incentives.

Ask who benefits, what is omitted, what is uncertain, and whether the claim can be verified.

Notes

Document decisions.

Record source links, assumptions, date checked, confidence level, and what would change the view.

Research rule

Never make the reader trust a conclusion without showing the route used to reach it.
