1 · Find the value pool
Identify who pays, why the pool grows, and whether growth is volume, price, mix, asset inflation or acquisition.
Industry analysis without false peers
Follow the economic mechanism, not the sector label
For each company, start with five questions: what creates demand, how price is set, what limits capacity, where cost or funding enters, and which observable would prove the thesis wrong or right. The clusters below are search cohorts. They do not imply that their accounting, risk or economics are directly comparable.
2 · Locate the bottleneck
Capacity may be a licence, fleet, factory, lease, labour force, order book, funding line or customer approval.
3 · Trace the cash
Revenue is not owner cash. Follow inventory, receivables, capex, leases, loan-book funding and refinancing.

Plain-language guide
- Value pool
- The total profit or cash available in an economic chain, and which participant can keep it.
- Price versus mix
- Revenue can rise because each unit costs more or because customers buy more profitable products; those are different claims.
- Cash conversion
- How much accounting profit becomes cash after customers pay, suppliers are paid and required investment is funded.
- Funding spread
- For a lender, the return earned on loans or collateral less the cost of the money used to fund them.
- Finite-life asset
- An asset such as a ship has a remaining working life; it cannot be valued as though the current cash flow lasts forever.
