Ideas
The intellectual foundations.
Essays on cognition, perception, and the methodological foundations of disciplined investment analysis. These ideas underpin how Reeve is built and why.
The Architecture of Disciplined Perception
How mental models shape what analysts see—and don't see. The cognitive challenges that make rigorous method necessary, and how Reeve's architecture addresses them.
The Epistemology of Price Discovery
Markets price consensus, not truth. Understanding the gap between collective belief and underlying reality—and why that gap creates opportunity.
Analysis of Competing Hypotheses in Investment Research
The methodology that underpins disciplined analysis. Systematic hypothesis generation, diagnosticity assessment, and the logic of disconfirmation.
Transcending the Limits of Incomplete Information
Investment analysis is judgment under uncertainty. How different analytical strategies—situational, theoretical, comparative—can be integrated systematically.
Memory and the Limits of Investment Analysis
The cognitive infrastructure problem. Why working memory constraints, anchoring, and retrieval failures create systematic analytical vulnerability.
These essays draw on work in cognitive psychology, intelligence analysis methodology, and behavioral finance. They represent the intellectual framework that shapes how Reeve approaches investment research.
