The Conviction Ledger: every call, on the record.
A timestamped, tamper-evident record of every research thesis Zax publishes, scored against what actually happens. It makes credibility something you can check from day one, and it cannot be cherry-picked.
Write once. Score honestly.
Each entry records the thesis, the time it was published, how it will be scored, and its status. Every entry is hashed together with the hash of the entry before it, so altering any past entry would break every link after it.
Coverage selected
The candidate is timestamped, conflicts are checked and restricted-list status is confirmed.
Thesis published
A testable claim, its horizon and an explicit scoring rule are fixed at publication.
Checkpoints
Earnings notes and updates are logged as new entries. Nothing is overwritten.
Outcome recorded
Each thesis is scored against its own rule, whether it held or not.

The hashes are computed live in your browser from each sample entry and the hash before it, which shows the mechanism. The entries are fictional placeholders. Zax has not yet published research.
