What is This?

The honest truth: Dollar-cost averaging into a low-cost S&P 500 index fund is probably the smartest thing most people can do with their investment dollars.

We know this. And yet.

What if structured discipline and AI collaboration could help us buy quality companies when Mr. Market is having a tantrum? This experiment tests that hypothesis - transparently, with real money, documenting everything.

Three AI analysts debate each decision. One focuses on rules and valuation (The Auditor). One focuses on narrative and macro (The Narrator). One synthesizes and forces a final call (The Arbiter).

The Three Tracks

Track 1: Baseline DCA

Monthly limit orders at prior day's close. Never chase.

Track 2: Tantrums

When a stock drops 5%+ in a single day, we pay attention. Is this panic or permanent impairment?

Track 3: Targets

Tri-anchor price targets. GTC limit orders wait patiently at valuation floors.
