Preparing and presenting results in Titan

This is where you write what you expect from a company before it publishes its numbers, and where you check afterwards what actually happened.

What it is for

Every quarter, every half year or once a year, depending on the company, it publishes its numbers. The usual thing is to read them and decide on the spot whether they were good or bad.

That is the worst possible moment to decide, and not only because it is when you can talk yourself into anything. Results days are also when the price tends to move most, so a decision made in a hurry is being made with the market at its noisiest and with fear doing the thinking for you.

What we want from this screen is that when the results land, you do not have to think about whether they are good. You prepared in advance, you already know what you were expecting, and you can see at a glance whether the company published better or worse and where. And one thing more: back when the thesis was fresh in your head, and the price was not moving, you already worked out what each outcome would mean.

That is most of the protection against acting on impulse. The reasoning was done on a quiet day.

Where to find the results screen

From the thesis card in the Workshop. Each card has its own button for it, so you go in per asset rather than through a general menu.

Creating your scenarios

The first time you go in you create a draft, and it asks for two things.

A name. Group it by the kind of results you are preparing for: quarter, half year or full year. Something like “Q3 2026 results” is enough and stays readable a year later.

The date of the presentation. It also shows up on the draft afterwards, and you can edit it whenever the company moves it.

With that, the draft is created with your KPIs listed, ready for you to build a scenario on each one.

Filling in each KPI

Three things per KPI, and the third one is where the thinking happens.

The unit

Free text, so you write whatever that KPI is actually measured in. For sales it might be dollars, or sales growth in %. For a platform it might be users. Whatever makes the number mean something when you read it back.

The range

The range you expect that KPI to move within. Say you expect sales to grow between 3% and 5%.

This is not a wish. It is the base scenario your thesis rests on. If the company publishes inside the range, your thesis holds and little changes. If it publishes above or below, the thesis is affected and you will need to update it accordingly.

What it means to come in outside it

Because the range is already what your thesis assumes, you only need to write conclusions for the two scenarios that break it: above, and below.

This is the valuable part. Write down what results at those levels would actually mean, so that on the day you can act on informed reasoning instead of re-reading and re-analysing the whole thesis under time pressure.

An example of the kind of reasoning that belongs here: if you were expecting sales to grow 10% and they fall instead, that may push the company into losses, which may be enough to break your thesis, which may lead you to conclude that the position no longer belongs in your portfolio unless something explains it. Whatever your version of that reasoning is, this is where it goes, written while the thesis is still fresh.

Presenting the results

Once every KPI has its scenario, save. That opens up the option to present.

Presenting means entering the figures the company published, or your own adjusted versions of them, and comparing them against what you had written.

If you have more than one draft prepared, for instance the quarter and the full year, you pick the one that has actually been published. The KPIs will be the same in both, but the conclusions you wrote are not.

Then you enter the final figures for each KPI and select present. Titan opens a PDF showing you visually which of your scenarios were met, so you can make a decision quickly and with your own reasoning in front of you.

The history

Presented results are stored and separated by year, so you can go back over what has been happening.

That archive is worth more than it looks. Every tracker measures how your portfolio performed. This measures something else entirely: whether what you expected kept turning out to be right.
