Every number on Pythia is one you can defend.

We built around six rules. They're the reason institutional analysts trust the output and DIY investors finally get a level playing field.

Sourced + Timestamped

Cited to the filing. Stamped to the minute.

Every metric and score links back to its source filing or vendor record, with an as-of timestamp you can trust.

Sector-neutral

Fair fights, only.

Z-scoring within sector × country means a 78 in software means the same as a 78 in mining. No more apples-to-tractors.

Sample preview
Is Meridian's debt load a concern given current rates?

Net debt is $340M against $1.2B in TTM EBITDA, a 0.28× ratio, well below the sector median of 1.8× 10-Q p.34. Interest coverage sits at 14×; weighted average coupon is 4.2% with no maturities until 2029 earnings call 2025-08-12.

Verdict: Low risk at current rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Pythia Research.

Three things. First, open methodology: every score links to its formula and sources, not a black box. Second, two scoring tracks: the PAS, an academic 5-pillar score (sector × country z-scored), plus the PGS Guru Pyramid (18 guru signals tiered by conviction), so you get rigor and narrative side by side. Third, an AI analyst that cites the underlying filing for every claim, not vibes.

Start with conviction.
