Traditional Screeners Have It Backwards
Most tools chase growth narratives. We focus on what actually matters for long-term wealth: not blowing up.
Growth-Chasing Approach
- × "What's the upside potential?"
- × Chases momentum and narratives
- × Ignores balance sheet risks
- × One bad quarter = portfolio disaster
Anti-Fragility Approach
- ✓ "What can kill this company?"
- ✓ Screens for survival first
- ✓ Deep dive into debt, cash flow, runway
- ✓ Chaos = opportunity to buy more
The 5 Dimensions of Anti-Fragility
Every stock is scored across 5 critical dimensions. Each score ranges from 0-10. Together, they reveal whether a company can survive — or will crumble under pressure.
Leverage Score
How much debt does the company carry? Can they service it?
Cash Flow Score
Are earnings backed by real cash, or accounting tricks?
Survival Score
How long can they survive without external financing?
Failure Mode Score
What concentration risks could kill the business?
Robustness Score
Overall operational and financial strength combined.
+ Taleb Adjustments
Bonus points for asymmetry, insider alignment, and option-like payoffs.
The Anti-Fragility Scale
Every stock gets classified into one of four categories. This tells you instantly whether it's built to survive — or destined to crumble.
Benefits from disorder. Can deploy capital when others are panicking. These are the companies you want to own through chaos.
Survives any stress. Solid balance sheet, real cash flows. Won't thrive in chaos, but won't die either.
Harmed by stress. Weaknesses that need monitoring. Position sizing is critical here.
Existential risk. One bad quarter could be fatal. Avoid or short.
Position Sizing That Protects You
The Taleb scoring system doesn't just classify stocks — it tells you exactly how much of your portfolio to risk. Because surviving is more important than winning big.
| Decision Band | Taleb Score | Max Position | What It Means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reject | 0-50 | 0% | Do not invest. Too many ways to die. |
| Micro Only | 50-65 | ≤0.25% | Tiny position. Lottery ticket only. |
| Speculative | 65-75 | ≤0.5% | Calculated bet. Upside potential with risk. |
| Rare Opportunity | 75+ | ≤1% | Strong conviction. Asymmetric upside. |
Position sizes are maximums. Your actual allocation depends on portfolio construction and correlation.
Focus on what can kill a company, not what can make it succeed. Survival is the prerequisite for compounding.
