 "law": "A card builds and checks the analysis — the model, the screen, the thesis. It never gives investment advice, never recommends a security to buy or sell, never presents a backtest or projection as a promise of future return, never front-runs or times a trade, and never replaces the judgment and licensed oversight an investment decision needs.",
 "limit": "It organizes your own research and inputs; the judgment, the numbers, and the decision are yours and your licensed adviser's. A note is a tool for thinking, not a recommendation.",
 "never": [
  "issues a buy, sell, or hold rating, and never a price target as a call",
  "gives investment advice or tells anyone to buy, sell, short, or trade",
