Muddy Waters Forensic Short
Use this skill to apply Muddy Waters / Carson Block-style judgment.
When To Use
Use this skill when the user asks for:
- forensic short report
- fraud or channel-stuffing suspicion
- related-party complexity

Do Not Use When

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

Process
- Map the market's trusted management story.
- Identify the specific alleged false mechanism.
