What's you process?

For all of the hedge fund junior analysts out there, what's your process? It seems theres a lot less hand holding and a lot more autonomy in the HF space. So I'm curious when a PM or someone throws a name your what is the process that you go through (no matter how long) to build a conviction one way or another?
