How this was tested
We froze the system and tested it against company data it had never seen, with the pass/fail criteria written down before we looked. The window was opened exactly once; the result below is what came out, unedited. How AIR itself works — its engines, signals, and data — is proprietary and not described here.
What we found
Companies that AIR surfaced as under-recognised gained measurably more market recognition within six months than closely matched peers (similar companies). The catch-up was clear and statistically consistent across the window.
“Recognition” here is a 0–100 research measure of how much a company is followed and reflected in market behaviour. It is not a return, not a forecast, and not a recommendation — it is descriptive.
Fundamental scores currently cover about half of the companies AIR follows. Where the filings don't support a reliable fundamental reading — most pre-commercial biotechs and many banks — AIR says so rather than estimating, and scores the company on its other engines at reduced confidence.
The validation universe included a small number of commodity and crypto funds and lending vehicles that have since been excluded from AIR's universe.

What we did not claim
Over the same window, per-company price outcomes at six and twelve months were near even odds. That's the honest anchor: AIR is research about where documented progress is accumulating faster than attention — not a system that reliably predicts short- or medium-term price direction for any individual company.
This is why we call it research, not tips. Every score on the site is a description built from public information, sourced and explained; none of it is investment advice, and no methodology removes market risk.
What we do next
The holdout window is closed and cannot be re-run. From here on, we maintain a live forward ledger: every month, the companies AIR surfaces are recorded with their score and date, and how the recognition finding holds up going forward will be visible on the same terms as the holdout — pre-registered, observable, no rewrites.
