Ten investigations.
One chart worth following.
Every entry comes from a published DIMM investigation. We follow the conversation on X and review the chart each Wednesday. Positions change gradually when the evidence supports a move.

Why it’s on the chart: DIMM has audited the viral earnings pitch and the production work behind it. This is an opening editorial position, with no earlier chart rank.
