The Clarity Framework™ The proprietary system for institutional-grade judgment.
The askOdin Clarity Protocol provides the six essential questions for investment rigor. It is the public blueprint—the recipe for what to ask.
But a recipe is not a meal. And a set of questions, no matter how powerful, is not a defensible judgment.
The real challenge, the one that separates amateur analysis from institutional-grade conviction, is building a systematic, repeatable, and auditable process for answering those questions.
This is the function of our proprietary Clarity Framework™.
The Recipe vs. The Michelin-Starred Kitchen
If the Protocol is the recipe, the Clarity Framework™ is the entire Michelin-starred kitchen, complete with the master chef. It is the end-to-end system that transforms the raw ingredients of data into a final, unassailable judgment.
It is our core, trade-secret intellectual property. While its precise architecture is confidential, its three foundational layers can be understood conceptually.
Layer 1: The "Scar Tissue to Data Asset" Process
This is our proprietary methodology for codifying the intuitive, experience-based "scar tissue" of seasoned partners into structured, machine-readable data. We map decades of human experience—both successes and failures—against thousands of data points to create a unique, outcome-labeled dataset that forms the bedrock of our system.
Layer 2: The Judgment Engine & Analytics
This is the heart of the infrastructure. The Judgment Engine does not just process information; it interrogates it. It runs every thesis through a gauntlet of adversarial tests, leveraging our proprietary models to:
- Identify brittle assumptions and hidden contradictions
- Map the connections between narrative claims and financial data in our Judgment Graph™
- Generate a definitive, auditable Clarity Score™ that quantifies the defensibility of the thesis
Layer 3: The Alpha Circle Co-Creation
The Framework is not a "black box." It is a system designed to augment, not replace, elite human judgment. Through The Alpha Circle, our five Founding Partners work directly with the Framework's outputs. They use the system to challenge their own thinking, surface blind spots, and build a level of conviction that is impossible to achieve through traditional diligence alone.
The Output: Defensible, Institutional-Grade Judgment
The Clarity Framework™ does not produce a simple "yes" or "no." It produces a single, powerful output: defensible judgment.
It provides a clear, auditable trail of logic that shows why a decision was made. It allows an investment committee to stand before its LPs and not only defend their conclusion but also defend the rigor of the process used to reach it.
Accessing The Framework
The Clarity Protocol is our public contribution to a new standard of rigor.
The Clarity Framework™ is the private, proprietary system that delivers that rigor. Access to the Framework is currently limited to the five elite institutions selected to be our Founding Partners in The Alpha Circle.
This is how we ensure our core IP is deployed with the seriousness and focus it deserves, co-creating the future of investment judgment with the leaders in the industry.
