Tracking the Alphabet Inc - Class C (GOOG) investment thesis
What is an investment thesis tracker?
An investment thesis is the specific reason you own a stock — for Alphabet Inc - Class C, that might be pricing power, a product cycle, or a margin story. A thesis tracker watches the news against those reasons instead of against the ticker. The point isn't more GOOG headlines; it's knowing when a headline actually bears on why you hold the stock.
How are alerts decided?
Every article we collect for GOOG is scored against each active thesis by an AI model: does it reinforce that thesis, challenge it, or say nothing about it? Each scored article also gets a materiality rating — how much it should move a holder's view. Only articles that clear the materiality bar on a specific thesis become alerts, which is why a heavy news day can still produce zero of them.
How is this different from a news feed or a price alert?
A news feed gives you everything and leaves the judgment to you; a price alert tells you something happened after the market already reacted. This page starts from the theses and only surfaces the stories that change one — with a short written explanation of what changed and why it matters.
Is this free?
Browsing is free and needs no account — the theses, the annotated price chart, and the news brief on this page are all public. Getting the alerts emailed to you as they happen requires a free account, which is also where you can edit which theses you're tracking or write your own.
