The method behind Wolf's Way

Wolf's Way is an AI-powered investment learning and research platform built on Carl Wolf's book A Wolf Among the Bulls and Bears: How An Individual Investor Can Beat the Market. It turns Carl's criteria, rules, and valuation tools into a structured, repeatable framework you can run on any stock.

01 — ASSESS

Carl's full framework, applied to any stock

Type any ticker. Wolf's Way runs Carl Wolf's complete GARP analysis — five core criteria, a valuation model, a conviction rating, and a covered call strategy. Structured. Fact-based. Every time.

GARP Scorecard — MRDN
Revenue & Earnings Growth (>15%) PASS
Defensible Business Position PASS
Non-Capital Intensive / FCF CAUTION
Profitable Model (ROE >15%) PASS
Reasonable Price (PEG <2) PASS
Conviction Rating GOOD

02 — EXPLORE

Ask questions. Go deeper. Learn the method.

The assessment is just the start. Ask Carl to explain a criterion, challenge an assumption, or walk you through a Wolf Rule. Every answer tells you whether it comes from Carl's framework or Claude's broader reasoning — never a black box.

Why did CAUTION on the FCF criterion?
Carl's Framework
Rule #28 applies here. Meridian's capital requirements remain elevated for its sector, which is exactly what that rule flags. FCF margins have improved, so it passes, but it's the kind of criterion worth watching quarter to quarter.
What would change this to a PASS?

03 — TRACK

Save, compare, and build your investment thinking

Save any assessment to your personal library. Run a new analysis on the same stock later and Carl shows you what has changed. Or set up an Agent to do it automatically: Event Monitors watch for news between assessments, and Earnings Monitors re-run the full analysis the moment a company reports. Your library becomes a living record of your investment thinking, built up with or without you at the keyboard.
