Reading the 15-Dimension Score

A number on a stock is meaningless if you don't know what's behind it. Our score isn't one metric — it's 15 dimensions rolled into a single read. Here's how to actually use it.

1
Start with the composite.

One number, 0–100 — the engine's overall read across momentum, value, quality, sentiment, flow, and more. Higher means more of the 15 dimensions agree. It's your first filter, not your last word.

2
Open the breakdown.

The composite hides the story. A 70 carried by momentum is a different trade than a 70 carried by value. Look at which dimensions are doing the lifting before you decide what kind of setup you're looking at.

3
Watch the signal, not just the number.

BUY / HOLD / SELL is the engine's call. A rising score with a fresh BUY is a very different thing than a high score that's quietly fading. Direction beats level.

4
Filter first, then confirm.

I use the score to narrow the field, then look for alignment — convergence, flow, the chart. The score gets you to the short list; the rest of the board gets you to the trade.

The score is 14 analysts in one number. Don't just read the number — read what's driving it.
