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.

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.

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.

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.

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 15 analysts in one number. Don't just read the number — read what's driving it.
