Most stock tools are built by engineers who've never held a position through a 70% drawdown. They optimize for the entry. They have no framework for the hold — which is where the real money is made or lost.

The distressed recovery thesis is simple. Find businesses where revenue is still real, customers still exist, and the break that caused the collapse was temporary — debt, macro, sentiment — not structural. Then hold through the noise.
ContraryAlpha automates the screening. The AI writes the thesis. You bring the conviction and the time horizon.
