Sourcing Scholar Update
May 5, 2026
Hello readers and subscribers,
In my last update, I said that the Sourcing Scholar is transitioning to a website. That is still occurring, but it is taking longer than expected due to my DNS hosting server. I got notice last night that the issues has been resolved, and the goal is to have the website up and running with articles by the end of the week.
Furthermore, I want to provide the objectives that the Sourcing Scholar is dedicated toward and changes as well:
Operating with a subscriber first mindset - provide daily active communication staying up to date and direct communication with you. We want to dialouge with you.
The Sourcing Scholar as a Sourcing/Procurement Report of equities using the Sourcing Scholar’s 5-Pillar Methodology. As the world of Finance changes over time, the Methodology may change.
The Sourcing Audit as an equity report using 2 of the Pillars for free. 1 article a day.
The Thinking Diary is being renamed as The Ledger, and the objective is to provide 1 to 2 articles a day on my trading/investing journey up until now till I die for free.
The Market Audit (New) - the objective is to provide a synopsis of the trajectory of money flows in each sector for the week for free. This will be made once at the beginning of every week.
Due to the amount of information and only me running this by myself for now, the Sourcing Scholar uses AI to extract the data from the web. We always site sources and verify the data as well.
(New) The Sourcing Portfolio Report and the 5- Pillar Methodology and Audits for the Portfolio and other equities will remain behind a subscription paywall.
While I may be using the primary methodology for my investing and other methodologies for my trading, I may be wrong and adjust the methodology if need be. Unforseen events like black swans and acts of God are out of my control.
My overall objective for the Sourcing Project is unbiased independent analysis of equities from a Sourcing/Procurement framework so we understand how and why to choose a company or not, becoming good analysts
Stay tuned for further updates articles.
