Strata Primers

The Strata Primer series is the operating manual for the Sentindex — seven deep-dive pieces covering the architecture and each of the six thematic portfolios that make up the firm's flagship. Each primer documents one Strata: the headline thesis, the sub-theses inside it, the basket of names that expresses each sub-thesis, the conviction calibration, the kill criteria, and the substrate evidence that drives all of the above. Plus a glossary and a cross-Strata interaction appendix.

The full primers are published on Substack as paid articles. Free abstracts of each piece are shown below; subscribers get the full ~40-page deep dive per primer plus all eight pieces in the series as they ship.

The series

Appendices

Two companion pieces — a free glossary covering every term used across the series, and a paid cross-Strata interaction matrix that maps the overlapping positions and the aggregation logic.
How to read the series. Start with Primer 0 to internalize the Living Engine architecture and the regime-dynamic split — the framework that ties all six Strata together. Then any individual primer can stand alone. Read in numerical order (0 → 6) for the full coverage, or jump to whichever thematic best matches what you are trying to think about. The Substack hosts the full pieces; the Sentindex page and the Strata page on this site show the live composition the framework produces.
