They built a really big checklist from the answers to 'what question, had it been asked in advance, would have made [investment failure] foreseeable?' For any new investment idea, they run down the checklist, and if it fails any of them, they don't invest in that idea.

This approach could be a big help in keeping one's watchlist down to a manageable size.

I'd like to have just such a checklist of simple questions. Many have been mentioned here and elsewhere, often by Jim. It would be great to automate that, perhaps by properly training an AI tool to work on the VL 1700 or some such.
