Following is how Yellowbrick stays useful after the first session. You pick people whose work you trust. Their new pitches show up under From authors you follow and can trigger notifications. Following is free. If an author sells premium research, that is a separate subscription.

​
Elite and Rising

Yellowbrick tags some authors Elite or Rising. You see the badge next to their name on pitch cards, author pages, and under Authors to follow on Home. Elite is for authors with a proven record. We look at realized returns and consistency, not follower count. The badge is a shield. Elite Only on Home (a Premium filter) shows only these authors. Rising is for authors we think are worth watching as they build that record. The badge is a small trend icon. Rising authors do not appear when Elite Only is on. Most authors have no Elite or Rising badge. We only apply those tags when the record is clear. Authors cannot assign these tags themselves. If you write research and want to ask about a tag, see For authors.

​
Find an author

You can get to a profile from:
  • A pitch card (click the author name).
  • Authors to follow on the Home right rail, split into Elite and Rising.
  • Search (/) by handle or name.
  • The Authors page in the sidebar.
@pernasresearch author profile in light mode, with Following, returns, pinned pitches, and top companies

An author page shows returns, top companies, and their pitch list. Follow is in the header.

​
Decide whether to follow

1

Read the header

Pitch count, first pitch date, and returns by window (1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y). The right rail repeats returns with hit rate.
2

Scan top companies and breakdowns

Top companies shows names that paid off. Pitch breakdown splits history by market cap, industry, and strategy so you can see if their edge matches how you invest.
3

Filter their pitches

Same chips as Home. Use them to see only earnings reviews, a sector, or bullish names before you commit.
4

Click Follow

The button is next to the handle. After that, new pitches from this author appear on Home under From authors you follow.
You can also Follow from the Home right rail without opening the profile. Open the profile first if you have not seen their record.

​
Stay current

Open Notifications in the sidebar for new pitches from people you follow. On Home, switch to From authors you follow when you want only that list, still with the same filters and Elite Only.
Unfollow from the same button on the author page if the stream is no longer useful.
