Screen and refine research ideas in corporate finance, investments, asset pricing, and real estate. Use for brainstorming, novelty checks, contribution framing, and journal-fit triage.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Finance Idea Screening Turn rough topics into credible paper ideas or kill weak ideas early. ## Stage 0: Desk-editor screen Before running the full literature search and scoring workflow, answer four questions in 1-2 sentences each: 1. **Prior-changing:** What broad finance prior would change if this paper is right? 2. **Zero-result value:** Why would the paper still matter if the main estimate is zero or the sign flips? 3. **Question over method:** Is the question more important than the shock, instrument, or dataset? 4. **Desk read:** Could this clear a top generalist journal's desk read today?

This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
