Hindenburg Investigation
Use this skill to apply Hindenburg Research-style judgment.
When To Use
Use this skill when the user asks for:
- investigative short report
- stock promotion suspicion
- promoter/related-party network

Do Not Use When

- Primary documents, product data, user/revenue evidence, or research materials
- Time horizon, capital structure, and risk constraints

Process
- Identify the public story and who promotes it.
- Map related parties, promoters, and cash/equity incentives.
