The founder and principal of The Numbers, Jason, was discussing the AI strategies for the fund with his 4 year old son one Friday afternoon. The conversation started getting into how exactly stocks for The Numbers were picked. What numbers were good, when looking at data? What numbers were bad?

Jason’s son, Monsoon, drew this diagram to explain the secret workings of The Numbers. There is a man with a lever at the bottom who spins gears, which are connected to a pencil, which chooses the numbers and writes out receipts. The junk numbers are on the left, the winning numbers are on the right.

Simple!
