Self-directed research tool

Make your process visible.

A guided digital journal for documenting the sources, questions, reflections, and research habits behind your investing decisions.

Stop relying on scattered tabs, screenshots, and memory. Keep a clear record of what you researched, where the information came from, what remains uncertain, and what you want to revisit.

For self-directed research and reflection only. Not investment, financial, legal, tax, or religious advice.

Separate facts from assumptions

Write down what a source states, what you are still learning, and what remains uncertain.

Reduce reactive decisions

Use reflection prompts to slow down and make your process more intentional.

Build your own record

Create a personal archive of questions, definitions, and research observations over time.

Digital journal workspace

Your research deserves more than browser tabs.

Create a journal entry to record what you are exploring, the sources you reviewed, what you learned, and the questions that remain.

Unlock the Decision Journal

Get lifetime access to the full Decision Journal workspace, including browser-based persistent storage and direct record transfers from your other Research Kits.

Preview & Unlock Workspace

The Decision Journal helps you document your own research process. It does not evaluate investments, assess suitability, or recommend any action. Choose “Keep my records after I leave” to save them privately in this browser; otherwise, entries are available only for this visit.

A useful rhythm

Use the journal whenever you explore a company, fund, screening approach, platform, or investing concept. Revisit only when you independently decide it is useful to review updated public information.

Print edition waitlist

A journal made for writing by hand.

The future print edition will bring the same research prompts, source pages, reflection exercises, and review records into a beautifully designed physical notebook.
