How the reading is built
Each company is scored on six mechanisms -- market expectation, operating pressure, cash conversion, leverage, concentration and competitive position -- from its own filed statements. A mechanism whose inputs do not clear its coverage floor is left unread rather than scored zero, and a reading built on thin coverage is pulled toward a neutral prior rather than claiming safety from what nobody looked at.
Descriptive, not advisory. These bands describe measured mechanisms; they are not investment advice, not a forecast, and not a statement about whether a share is worth owning.
